Wow. 5:25:56... It has long been a goal of mine to finish a full marathon. Cannot believe it's only 18 months post surgery. Last 5 miles was pure will power... It does get better and communities like this opens your eyes to the process. Believe me,

Congratulations! I was thinking of you this morning, (specifically, your reference to a Post-Traumatic Growth TED talk), and I logged in for the first time in a long time - and here you are, finishing a marathon! You've been inspirational and incredibly helpful to me, and I'm sure, many others... Read more.

Wow, that is fantastic. I know what you mean about the last five. When I was healthier, i did four half marathons and it seems like that last push is a big mental game. Keep up the great work.

after finishing a half-marathon on my 6 month anniversary... setting a big audacious, hairy goal like running one was great motivation during cardiac rehab...

Congrats dude, that quite an accomplishment. In my younger days I ran quite a few halfs and complete marathons. I would run halfs at sub 1:25:00 and full marathons sub 3 hours. Now i'm good to jog at 12-13 minute pace. That gets me out of breath now. :-)
