Finished at Kiawah Island this Sat. Didn't hit my goal time of <3:50, but did break 4 hrs. & got a PR of 3:56:04. Two of my personal rules of running are: never be unhappy about finishing a marathon, and never be dissatisfied with a PR -- so I'm perfeactly fine with the results. I've been looking for photos online but haven't found any yet. Perhaps I'll post some of me if I find them, along w/ a detailed account of my run. For now, I'm too tired, as I took an exam this evening & came home to work on a 2,500-word assignment due Fri.
To make a long story short, Kiawah is a good marathon. The course is flat, the people nice, & the island beautiful. I'll be back next year, but will do the half so that I can have a real vacation. As a matter of fact, I have no immediate plans to do another marathon. That is not to imply that I'll naver do another; but as of now I plan to take a break from them for a while, as they take up too much time & interfere with other races.
