It's been a couple weeks since I did it, but I thought I'd brag a little bit here. I finished a marathon.
It was my goal to just finish one before I die. So about 6 months ago I paid the entry fee for the Amsterdam Marathon. I had at that moment not been running at all, just cycling once or twice a week.
6 months of pretty serious training, and I did it. I overtrained in the last 3 weeks (very stupidly) and my knees locked up with IT Band issues. But, still I finished the entire 42.195km (26 miles). So, for that I'm proud of myself.

Now I have to sign up for another marathon so I can finish one in what I feel is a "respectable" time.
