Day 118 Miles Completed: 26.2 Total Mileage: 636.9/2018 #katieruns2018 Status: Behind 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️ I have very few words to describe how I feel after the events of yesterday. I have been a weak, weepy mess since I finished the @illinoismarathon. I am outrageously grateful for the support system who have allowed me to work for this moment. I could not have run this race without you - whether you were on the course cheering me on or merely sending me thoughts of love and encouragement. I was floored to discover that, of the 17,000 marathon weekend participants, only 1,140 ran the full marathon and I am humbled and proud to say I was one of those people. I can say, without a shadow of a doubt, that this is the hardest thing I have ever done. The training, the pep talks, the advice - none of it could have prepared me for what happened yesterday. My longest training run was 21 miles, but going beyond that yesterday seemed close to impossible. I am not pleased to say I made a much slower time than I would have liked, but I will be back and, armed with the experience I have now, I will be stronger and I will be faster. 🙌👏🏻🤝 #running #runnersofinstagram #runtheyear2018 #runtheedge #myrunplan #marathon #marathontraining #illinoismarathon #pr #pb #firstmarathon #raceday #challengeaccepted
