Congratulations on completing the marathon! I ran my first marathon this fall too (Chicago). I've run 9 half marathons and always said no way to a full, but somewhere along a trail in Korea in 2019, on the toughest hike I've done, I said ya know what, my body can do amazing things, I'll give it a try. It did an amazing thing, and I'll happily go back to not running marathons :)
I so enjoyed reading this, Jessica. It felt very familiar, as I’ve gone through a similar running journey. The idea of completing a marathon sounds a bit like climbing Mt Everest to me, but I’m inspired by your story. :) Congrats on your finish (in such a beautiful place, too! Maine is amazing 🤩)! 👏🏼
