re: Update: Running my first marathon

I ran a half marathon in 1 hour 32 minutes in Mobile many years ago. I trained for about 2 months before and had shitty shoes. I developed a pretty bad blister on my left foot and trained through it. It really flared up during the half and I didn't know it at the time but was partially taking weight off of it. It was a couple days after but I could barely put weight on my right foot. Went to an Ortho soon after and had a stress fracture on the large bone top of my right foot because of the change in how I was running. Don't be like me and get good shoes, and don't train too hard too fast. Listen to your body
