Marathon day conditions were less than ideal with 30-40mph, I did but in 4:49. I had always said I would only want to run one marathon but after running my first I knew I had to run another, Toni @ Running, Loving, Livinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07124178380124442417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2647157930116406632.post-28888382276789258092015-07-09T11:04:02.072-05:002015-07-09T11:04:02.072-05:00Running has humbled me more times than I can count...Running has humbled me more times than I can count, and I'm sure it's not done with me yet!
