3 hours of running

As you might have read yesterday, I was a frankly terrified before today of my marathon. I had struggled to run even 20 minute with my new shoes. Having intended to run three 5ks, I struggled to see myself running more than one.

Today, though, I managed to run for three hours, and for eighteen miles. Longer than I have ever done in my life. The fact that I did this four weeks before my marathon show that despite all my problems with my feet and my fitness, I am on track.

There are many metaphors about this that I want to express. But not right now.
