We did it!! After SEVEN months of training, Rebekah and I finally reached out goal and completed the fourth annual Kigali Marathon/ Semi Marathon.
It is something we will never forget and was a big accomplishment for both of us considering it was both our first times to participate in something like this.
It was not easy though. I felt great most of the time, but by the last six miles both Rebekah and I were feeling some aches and pains. My knees were hurting and she just felt so tired.
Thankfully, through it all we had each other and were there to encourage one another to finish. We finished the half or semi marathon in 2 hours and 12 minutes.
Right after us at 2 hours and 18 minutes was the marathon winner. He was unbelievable. He ran 26.2 miles in that time, which we averaged out to be able 5 minutes miles.
He was from Kenya and probably runs on their Olympic team. I am determined to find out. Either way since he was practically famous that day in Kigali, Rebekah and I decided too take advantage of the fact that he practically ran in with us and get out picture with him.
Too bad he ran twice as much as we did and looked nearly half as tired as we did.
