Goal: 26.2Miles, accomplished!

Time 4:13:07

A 2009 New year's resolution complete - only 9 days late!

This is no organized Marathon - since i could not find one to fit my "already late newyear resolution timeline" had to do it all alone in any track possible! And that was a challenge in itself.

Would have loved to do it under 4:00, but, the last 4 miles was brutal. I am yet to upload my Garmin data - would be interesting how the timing was in the last 4-5 miles.

As usual, a great deal of epiphany occurred while i was running. This is what happens when you run 4+ hours and let your mind roam free... The beautiful scenes of the misty coyote hills with the backdrop of the east bay, inspires me a whole lot, every time, i run in this trail. Back to my epiphany to the day ....

"Commitment does not mean much unless you are making it with yourself".
