    One of the benefits of marathon running is I know feel a deep bond with anyone else who has ever done one. Let me know if that is you!!!

        @hreineking no bonking, no hitting the wall... We fueled well. But I still had to repeat mantras in my head and pretend only had to run one

        @quephird until 3 months ago that was the furthest I had ever run! We just added one mile to our long runs which we did every other week.

        @avantgame Oh wow! It's winter now so I'm not going to be able to run nearly as much; I'll have to wait till next year to start ramping up.

        @avantgame I have the same feeling towards those who have also done the 20 McNugget challenge. The bond is real. (So is the meat, I think?)
