Red Deer Marathon

On the weekend I did the Woody's World RV marathon. The results are up on the website. 4:49:20 I was 2 minutes faster than the last time. I think this was a harder course plus the heat made it challenging. The Edmonton course is flat with one downhill and one uphill. The Red Deer course was up and down and varied terrain. It's amazing the mental games one plays when you are racing. I went from I can do 4 hours to Maybe I can catch a ride in that guys pick-up within an hour. I went from not walking to trying to keep running. I went 28km before I walked and it was at a water station where I first walked. I don't know. I'm not a runner. I'm happy that I finished but I'm dissapointed that I didn't do a lot better than the last time. No one can say that running a marathon is easy. I've done 2 now and they are both different and both extremely hard to finish. What blows me away is the guy who won does ultra marathons and he's doing one next week, he used red deer as a training run.
One good thing I guess. I never lost any bottles from my belt or dropped any either. Another positive thing is most people couldn't do this race and I've done 2 of them. I think it makes me stonger as a person knowing this. Anyho I'll post some pics as I get them the website said 7-10 days and we have 14 more pictures to take on the camera before we can develop the film. Talk wit cha l8r my peeps!
