Been MIA from the boards for awhile, just busy deployments, school, and general life stuff. I should be back around now though. To start my return off I thought I would share my marathon experience...
Marine Corps Marathon; 26.2 miles.
This was my 2nd time running it. I ran it last year on my birthday (without training). This year I wanted to run it again, but train for it and better my time. Well, I did train and I did better my time, though not by much. Plantar fasciitis and ITB syndrome held me back from running it as hard as I could, particularly from mile 14 on. The 1st half was smooth. Still, it was great and I raised over $850 for The Semper Fi Fund, which supports our nations Wounded Warriors. This will be my last full marathon though for awhile. Next year I plan on running a bunch of half's and adventure races like The Warrior Dash and the Tough Mudder. Below is a pic and a link to my Garmin page that shows splits, times, distance, elevation, and even a google map.

*The last mile time, pace is innacurate because I forgot to stop my garmin. This would also take about 10-15 min off overall time as well.
