I trained for my marathon for 4 months and it was totally flat and it kicked my butt, and you merrily saunter off up a vertical mountain and manage 18 miles with no training! You're my hero :-) And who says you can't eat cookies will marathoning? Maybe no one ever tried it before!Angetombehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14564445761185360259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5198334278254951887.post-65208102389792516452010-10-16T00:36:34.590-07:002010-10-16T00:36:34.590-07:00Hahaha, it was pretty insane...but super fun! I de...Hahaha, it was pretty insane...but super fun! I definitely do not recommend running that distance without training. If it weren't for the cookies I'm sure I would have dropped off much earlier. I was in so much pain the next day. For the next few days stairs were my arch nemesis. And there are a lot of stairs in Morocco.Nikkihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04894503897261279566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5198334278254951887.post-10132011640966820602010-10-16T12:14:38.669-07:002010-10-16T12:14:38.669-07:00Great Adventure.

I've been training like mad. I have also never seen an English-language account of it. How was the organisation ?

Although, I didn't sign up for it until the last-minute so I'm not sure how the pre-race organization was. The race itself was great though. Everything was clearly marked, on time, and the food and water stations were positioned perfectly. And the cookies were delicious. ;)Nikkihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04894503897261279566noreply@blogger.com
