First marathon: completed!! Clearly my intentions to track my taper phase right before the marathon didn't happen - better luck next time! However, the marathon this past Sunday in New Orleans was absolutely wonderful. Nathan, my fiance, and my dad both ran the half marathon. The weather was beautiful, and the course was flat - perfect for my first marathon. The best part of the whole experience was that I accomplished my goal of qualifying for the Boston marathon. I couldn't be more excited! Can't wait for April 2012!
