I ran a marathon on Sunday! I did, however, miss a turn (no volunteer, no signage) and ended up running 31.2 miles! I had a very intense colitis attack @Mile 12(my mile 17), very bloody and watery D, it passed quickly, and I finished strong!

Yay!!

WOW!!!!!!!!!! I am SO impressed! And with 5 extra miles - sheesh, I'd be patting myself on the back for the 5 miles alone - lol!!!
And having a UC issue and keeping going. Wow - there's a trooper!
I hope you can relax and recup for a bit now..... you deserve a big trophy!!
