Beginning, Middle and End

A fantastic day! I met up with some great running pals before the marathon which made a nice change from my previous lone efforts. The weather was gorgeous! The run was almost effortless. I used some electrolyte replacement tablets ever thirty minutes which seemed to work wonders. I was still able to sprint the last two kilometers so that I could make it past the clock inside of 4:40 (it was 4:39.) My previous best time is 4:27, so I am hoping that when the start time is removed (usually between ten and fifteen minutes) I should have beaten that. Hoping to do even better at the Kobe Marathon in a few weeks time.
