As in six hours, thirty minutes and 36 seconds. That’s how long it took for me to walk the 26.2 miles from the start to the finish of the marathon today. Don’t do the math because I already did, and that time translates into a 14.9-minute mile, meaning I was finally wonderously able to rock a long overdue a four-mph pace — and that’s after barreling over the bike tour course in 70 minutes, getting back up to downtown, changing clothes, and hopping the Red Line to Universal City (where on route I was interviewed by a writer for the Daily News so I’ll be checking to see if my name’s in print in that paper tomorrow).
Obviously there’s a lot more to say(and more than 100 snaps to upload to Flickr, but my legs don’t work and my body’s tweaking around with my core temperture and the clattering chills are payback for the pain I put it through, so other than me throwing down a double thumbs up for my accomplishment and satisfactory physical condition, any report in-depth of otherwise will have to wait.

Congrats on one hell of an ambitious accomplishment.

You are awesome! Sorry I wasn’t there to wave as you passed – Sam was really not pleased with the crowds. But I was cheering you from afar.

Very impressive Will. Hope you are not feeling too much pain today. Take care and take it easy.

Truly, truly, awesome.
Or incredibly insane.
Either way, you rock.

You rock!
Baby, I’m so proud of you. I understand that it is such a test of endurance and courage, and also a testament to love and devotion to challenge yourself with such passion. I know your emotions ripple through you as uncontrollably as your muscles spasm under your skin. I love that you thought of me out there in all your glory and agony. Cause I thought of you too. And I love you more than anything.
