I was able to complete the Cowtown Marathon Yesterday

I was able to complete the Cowtown Marathon Yesterday

July 10, 2012 by Bob Wilkin in Blog

 

Feb 28

I racewalked, with no running. But I did finish in just under 6 hours (5:47), which is not bad (13:16 pace). I came away unhurt, I think, except for soreness and a really big blister on my right heel.
I wore a shirt that said in big letters on the back ONCE SAVED, ALWAYS SAVED. About 10 people took the time during the race (as they were passing me) to say that they liked my shirt.
While I’d love to be able to run a marathon, I am very thankful to be able to still finish one at age 58, and in a reasonable time.
