Thoughts During a Marathon

Pre-Race

Shhh…coffee. All the coffee.

Mile 1

I have so much energy! I could run for days.

Mile 2

Epic.

Mile 4

I found my stride. This is awesome. I’m already 4 miles in. There isn’t that much left.

Mile 6

Maybe I am crazy?

Mile 8

Nope. I am total badass. I prepared for this. Feeling strong AF.

Mile 10

Sexy, sweaty beast.

Mile 12

Wait, why am I doing this? It hurts. Quite a bit.

Mile 14

Yep, I don’t know. Not a clue. I don’t think I can do this. They were right.

Mile 16

I made it this far. I have to finish.

This energy gel is the grossest.

Mile 18

Seriously. What was I thinking?

Mile 20

I am going to die. Every single thing on my body hurts. Is this the wall?

Mile 22

I am never doing this again. I have to eat something.

Mile 24

Why am I not done yet? They must have mismarked the course.

Mile 26.2

Is that the finish?

I am never doing this again.

5 minutes post-race

That was awesome. I need to find another race.

Am I masochist? I don’t care. Where is the food?
