26.2 miles - It is not a miracle that I finished....

...it is a miracle that I had the courage to start.

The weather was really great for the marathon, fresh air, not too chilly. The moment when I stepped on the I-90 bridge was awesome, everything was covered in fog. Really pretty.

At around mile 14, when running back from Seward park along Lake Washington, I entered the true "running mode". Everything seemed so easy, it was just me and the road ahead - one step at time. The last mile, before entering the stadium was a bit painful on my knee as it went downhill.

I am feeling exhausted and depleted of energy but it was worth every step and breath.

Now I will brag about it for the rest of my life!

Distance: 26.2 miles (42.195 kilometers)
Time: 4 hours 16 minutes and 1 second.

























Total distance (since July): 321.6 miles
That is 514.56 kilometers or about the distance Vienna to Venice.
