To date... my most painful marathon!!!! I felt like this race was the day to try for my best time! I was right on course after the half way of a 1:32 time. Then at mile 15 the mild cramps started in the quads. Then a little latter my left shoulder seized up. By mile 18, the calves joined in and I called it quits and turned my pace into a jog. With 2 miles left to go I was walking and that's how I finished. I have never walked across a finish line before! My poor body hurt so bad!!! I couldn't tell which part of my body hurt more. The Alieve helped and after laying on the ground for about an hour, I got up and went to the near-by Del Taco. I was feeling so much better after a few tacos, burger and lots of coke!!! Finish time 3:54:18
