I actually signed up for Mountains2Beach about a week before CIM due to a really good discount through my running group. At mile 23 I vowed that the first thing I would do when I got home was to cancel my M2B registration and that I would never run another F@#$ing marathon again. I'm still signed up for M2B though lol. I had a controllable urge to cry when I finished and for the next few days the feeling to cry would come back again if I thought about how much the last few miles hurt. My soreness only lasted 2 days but I got sick (I never get sick) and am still sick :(. I do admit though that I feel a little crazy knowing I will likely feel the same pain at mile 23 again and it scares me a little. I can only say that feeling like a badass for kicking ass at my first marathon in those conditions is fueling my desire to do another. <br /><br />It's good that you're doing something about your ankle now instead of running through it and hurting it more.

And the aircast was my best friend for 5 months it seemed like, hopefully you are able to dump that soon!

Hopefully by resting for the remainder of the year you can get yourself 100%. <br />I am glad that minus the foot issue you recovered so quickly. I was told by a runner once that the more marathons you run, the easier it is for you to recover. I laughed at them until my 3rd marathon (CIM last year). When I was able to slowly run 3 miles the next day I pretty much became a believer. <br /><br />It is a bummer that the mat failed, but it doesn't surprise me with all of the rain. They are probably lucky that more mats didn't fail.

After the fi...I hope the foot heals super quickly! <br />After the first couple marathons I did, I needed a 2 hour nap immediately afterwards and could barely function the rest of the day... now it's just another day, pretty much.<br />I'm SUPER tempted to sign up for another marathon for redemption but I have a 70.3 to start wrapping my head around.<br />ANYWAY, happy that you're fired up and ready to go for your next marathon!<br />Catehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04986818638521144674noreply@blogger.com
