Self-Transcendence Marathon 2014

Ran this race on Monday with my unofficial finishing time of 3:59:57. I'm pretty sure it's a few seconds under 4 hours. The emotions were all over the place during the run. At Mile-10, I wasn't feeling very good. But as the race went on, I started to get into a steady pace. By Mile-20, I'm entertaining the idea of a personal best time. But at Mile-22, I lost my speed. It was tough for me to except running another marathon over 4 hours. I could see the finish line about 50 yards away and I just tried to sprint as fast as I could. It looked to me like I made it just under 4 hours. I'll take it! It was an epic race. That's how it goes in a marathon.
