Well… that was tough and didn’t go to plan.
3:38:44
Way off my PB
26–27° extreme heat
Nearly DNF’d… but didn’t.
Today was about grit, not glory. I wanted sub-3:20, but the conditions had other ideas. Sometimes the win is simply refusing to quit.
Marathons will humble you — and they’ll also remind you what you’re made of. 
Not the race I dreamed of, but I finished. That matters. 
Onwards.
