  • Comments: I wanted to run this slow and my thinking of slow was like 5:30 but Ive never done a stand alone marathon. I just went out to have fun and keep on my feet. I didnt even have to try to go slow! LOL it just happened. I didnt wear my garmin or anything cause I wasnt going to worrry about my time and didnt want to get upset if my pace was like a slug. At mile 5 my shirt was rubbing my arm and burning so at mile 7 we went past our hotel. Tried to call Tanner to get him up to bring me down a change of shirt but didnt answer. Waited a minute tried again and he was in the shower. I didnt have my key so I had to wait for him so he could unlock the entrance door to get to the room. So I changed my shirt and grabbed a diet dew and had about a third of that and then headed back out to the street and jumped back in the run. Porta potties were hard to come by and only had 2 per stop so the lines were long. Waited for 3 maybe 4 of them throughout the run. At mile 9 I met a lady from Atlanta
