I completed my first marathon yesterday, the Yonkers Marathon just north of New York City. I finished in 3:51:43 meaning I ran at an average 8:51 pace per mile. There were 32 finishers in the Male 30 to 39 age group and 196 finishers in the race. My overall finish place was 86 and my age group finish place was 16. I was surprised I was able to complete it in under 4 hours, because of how hilly the route was(mostly manageable, but can still slow down even the fastest runners), because this was my first time doing any marathon, and because I was juggling the entire time. So many people were amazed by this, which suggests they've never seen joggling before. Unfortunately, I couldn't keep up with the man in the tutu. I did see another vegetarian runner there, wearing a "No Meat Athlete" t-shirt, though I wore nothing indicating I'm a vegan. I should do this next time. I dropped the balls 4 times, mostly toward the end.
