So... last weekend I ran a marathon. It was hot and hilly. Should I end there?! Haha. I mentioned back in February that I was toying with the idea of a spring marathon... but wanted to wait and see how things shook out before I really committed. After a couple good weeks of training, I decided to just go for it and signed up for the Kalamazoo Marathon in Kalamazoo, Michigan. All smiles before the start.
