Running 3:06:00 [4] 42.4 km (4:23 / km) +41m 4:22 / km
Valencia marathon. Wasn't going to run the full distance, only until the foot starts to hurt. I felt it after 4k but it was bearable and it didn't get much worse the longer I ran. So I continued to run 5k stretches at the time until I reached the finish line. First half was fairly easy but after 25k my legs were already quite empty and I started having difficulties. Only after 30k I began to think about running the whole distance. Until that it hadn't even crossed my mind. So amazed I was able to run the full distance and very pleased with my second best marathon time.
