I ran my first marathon, the Steamtown Marathon finishing in Scranton, PA. It's a very well-run marathon with a great community feel to it. I finished in just under 4 hrs (3h58m35s) and am ecstatic about the time. It's not only a PR (Duh! It's my first one) but also better than my best case scenario of 4 hrs even. The perfect weather conditions and the fast first half (1h58m) definitely helped. As did the first-time-finisher adrenalin.
Looking forward to other runs now. I need to run more over the next year so that 8.30 min/mile finish at NY marathon next year is not impossible. I also want to improve my 5k, 10k and half marathon PRs.
Cheers.
