| Veteran 225 | Subject: RE: Illinois Marathon Well....I was clipping along perfectly with the 3:20 pace group for 18-19 miles. Then I felt it a bit...but still going nicely. However at 21 miles....the worst cramp pains I ever had took over for the next three miles. It was not pretty, but I finished my first marathon in 3:40 ish. Oh well a finish is a finish! |

That's a great finish for your first time out and not knowing exactly what racing at this distance is like or how that last six miles will feel. Maybe you finished right near me. I came in 3:40 ish too. |

Member 167 Bloomington | Subject: RE: Illinois Marathon Congrats to all the runners! Way to go!!! I didn't run, but I got to be one of the 3 lead bikers for the full and it was really awesome to see the event from that perspective. It was especially amazing to get to watch the leaders running so strong and smooth, even after 26 miles! As a new runner, it was really inspirational! |

| Veteran 225 | Subject: RE: Illinois Marathon I know I was/am a little out of shape for a marathon. But...how long does the sore legs continue? I walk as if I am walking straight legged which is making my knees hurt instead of just my quads burning and going downhills is causing a bit of a problem. |

I walk as if I am walking straight legged which is making my knees hurt instead of just my quads burning and going downhills is causing a bit of a problem. For my first marathon I didn't walk right for three days afterwards (so you're about on track ). After that I still felt some residual soreness for a couple more days, but I could at least walk normal. Stairs are the most fun in the couple days afterwards. Go down backwards if you need to. Taking ibuprofen will also help. And enjoy this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m-hCuYjvw2I |
