Marathon Cake- Running my second marathon
My first marathon was amazing, but it was also really hard, hot and long. I wasn't sure I'd want to do another one, but someone at church (Maria) said..."Oh you will. You just need some time to think. Just watch.". She had run many marathons in her past, so I decided to trust her. She was right. It took time, but only a few months. If I ever thought I might run a marathon, I definitely didn't think I'd run a second one. And I never thought I'd compare it to cake, but never say never. Yes, it was a non-marathon marathon, so my friends called it. It was a Conqueror Virtual Challenge that me and my friend, Cindy, decided to do all in one day . It was called the Marathon to Athens . Yes, the distance was 26.2. We decided this was a good way for her to run her first marathon, and for me to test the distance again to see if it felt better the second time. Never mind it was based off the the original marathon where the main runner guy died at the finish line....
