2009 Maine Marathon


Finished in 4:42:25 gun time. No chip time, must have worn it too high on my ankle.
So glad I got to finish a marathon again finally. I'll take it considering there was a time when I questioned whether I would be able to run a 5K again. The course was nice. Very rural, mostly chipseal pavement, a little new smooth pavement, a short stretch of dirt - gravel road, and about 3 miles of grass (yes). Overall I would rate it as slightly on the barefoot unfriendly side but close to neutral. Left foot didn't bother me much so I think I am finally coming out of the woods there. I did feel like doing some walking between 18-22 miles because my muscles felt overstretched. Can't wait for the next one already, the choosing/planning process is the best part for me.
