it was the hardest thing i’ve ever done in my life, but i finished the marathon. i’ll gradually get back into the swing of things over the next few days. hopefully i’ll get around to writing about the whole experience in the next day or two. i’m not sure why people put their bodies through things like marathons, but at the same time, i can’t say i won’t run another one. now it seems it’s time to dig through a mountain of email, which is the last thing i want to do right now.
