About 6 months ago I had the goal of running 2:49 at the
The training build was going well, then suddenly 2 weeks ago I had a freak hamstring issue & could not run. For 2 weeks it was only biking, rest, & treatments.
I flew to Germany🇩🇪 anyway, & yesterday I tested it out on the hotel treadmill & got 1.5M in 15 minutes (10:03p).
Today was all about survival mode. Just finish, try not to die, & try not to do any long-term damage to my hamstring.
The gun went off & I didn’t look at one mile split the entire race. From the first kilometer on, my hamstring was tight, but not painful, & my legs felt like they were going to sieze-up & cramp at any moment.
Although I missed my original goal by 25 minutes (3:14:46), I’ve never been so proud of myself & so happy with my performance at any marathon (today was # 58)!
Today really was all about the journey!🏃🏼♂️➡️
