When does the pain stop?

If so, congrats. Thats incredible.
My first I was pretty sore for 2 or 3 days afterward. Mainly while getting up from the floor or low chairs.
My family was pretty excited when I crossed the finish line. Now my daughter made me promise to run with her next year. (Yikes. What have I done?)"There is no creature more arrogant than a self-righteous libertarian on the web, am I right? Those folks are just intolerable."

You are incredible!!! Wow. Congratulations. You should definitely run the marathon again with your daughter next year. I am not an expert on marathons, since I have only run one so far, but it was fairly recently, so I remember the pain well. Believe it or not, the pain subsides pretty quickly, at least when moving around. I didn’t even hurt at all during the daytime after the actual day of the marathon. I did ache pretty badly whenever I was in bed for the next 3 nights or so.

The wife and I agreed to do it (thinking we would alternate). I started after everyone had taken off and followed along. At each aid station I would stop and tell the volunteers that they were done and could go home. At 13 miles I felt pretty good so I told my wife that I could keep going (she was busy helping with the marathon). I ended up doing the whole thing. Obviously it was a slow pace, but it was still 26.2 miles. I feel pretty good today other than a sore spot on my right foot. And my lower back is a little sore.

This really is extraordinary, and rather funny. I'm sure you've been running some, but I'm curious how much you run in a typical week, and your typical distance. What's the longest you've run before. You should join us at Tahoe as our sweeper, just for a few miles.

The irony is that I have never had much of a desire to do a marathon. But I have to admit that it was a pretty cool experience. I think it would be fun to do it again and I shouldn't have any problem beating my current time."There is no creature more arrogant than a self-righteous libertarian on the web, am I right?
