The Bergs

We made it through the Marathon this last weekend!  It was a grueling 26.2 miles with a 13 mph headwind.  Our expected time was a little over 2 hours, but with the headwind, we ended up getting just under 3 hours.

For me, the last 5 miles were the hardest.  Up until then, I didn’t feel too much exhaustion other than my knees feeling very tight and my fingers swelling a little bit.

Becca did pretty well, in fact we both did well for it being our first marathon.  She didn’t really start feeling tired until the last 4 miles or so.

The next day she was worse off than me.  I felt pretty good, no major soreness.  She said her thighs hurt more than any time in her life.
