Maratona di Roma

I did it, I ran a marathon. 26.2 miles or 42, 195 metres and I did it in a respectable time of 3 hours 35 minutes and 14 seconds.

I couldn't be happier really. I had wanted to put the training in to work for a sub 3 hour marathon, but other commitments led me to not being able to put in the hours. And I'm fine with that too.

Simply completing the marathon was cool enough and what better place to do a marathon than in Rome?

This was the Rome 2012 marathon course and it looked like it had been put together by the tourist board. Every single opportunity to get in a tourist spot was done and it made the run interesting and utterly unique.

I'll post up some Garmin information in a few days and more thoughts on the run.
