So i'm not going to lie. It was tough. When I first stepped out I thought well this is not so bad my dog gets a walk and I get a good workout. After my first hill I thought, there is NO way I can do this not for 2 miles. But I kept walking. And then at the park where I could have cut through I did not because I did not want to cheat myself, I thought about it... a few times actually but I thought I would be the only one I would be cheating. And then I told myself there was not that much more to go and 2 miles is not even a blimp in the radar with the impending 26.2.
My shins are friggin KILLING me, and I am not a wimpy person. I have a real high tolerance for pain. But this seriously kicked my ass!
Time to go ice my shin splints.
Well at least I know now that I can complete the marathon in 6 hours at the pace I set today. Which is good news.

NOTHING wrong with a little ass kicking that meeting ones goal won't cure!
Focus on the fact that you did what you set out to do even with the pain. Imagine what you will be able to do once the pain is resolved.
I am proud of you.
