I started slowing down around mile 16, powered thru the hills, miles 22-25 where a shuffle then picked it up when I saw "one mile to go". Finish in 4:21.15, it was a great experience. I am walking quite slowly today but will probably do it again.

Wonderful job, Sharon! Congrats on your first marathon. It's so impressive to me, an on again, off again runner.
Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Continue to learn. Appreciate your friends. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is.
