I signed up for the Miami Marathon once I realized that I was becoming a scared, shy person in life. Also, running a marathon has been on my bucket list for 5 years...so what better time than now?
After some light strength training and running, I stood at the starting line Sunday morning with a calm, positive attitude. I was lucky enough to have in town my mom, my dad, Pedro, and his friend David as cheerleaders.
The first 10 miles toured South Beach, Pedro jumped in with me at mile 13. The race went down to Coconut Grove, near Key Biscayne, and finished downtown. My body tightened after about 20 miles. After finishing, the pain in my muscles was worse than I imagined.
Fortunately, I ate, drank, and stretched after and was recovered within 2 days. Pedro and I have signed up for next year’s race--- Jan 29, 2017!!
