My First Marathon
Running - - Posted on November, 6 at 10:28 am
I completed the Silicon Valley Marathon on the 29th October in 5 hours and 7 minutes. Its just an amazing feeling. The last 4 miles was particularly remember able, when every step was a huge effort and the crowd cheering you all the way ! Some runners who had completed the marathon walked back with medals around their neck to cheer on. It was so refreshing to see Priya on the final turn, joining along to run the last 200m ! Minutes later I had a medal around my neck !
I had trained for 4 months running 337 miles during my training. Still remember the last two miles when I swore to myself .. “Never a marathon againâ€. Two days later, here I am all charged up for my next marathon ! Finally I am a Marathoner !

Great.
Few months back, I ran for 10KM race in Kathmandu International Marathon Race organised by NRN. It was 7 days short preparation and completed race with 7 days lasting pain in my knees.[Still thinking for marathon participation.]
After reading your post, I am willing to give a try for marathon. Lets see what will be my timing.
