At 55 I too ran my first marathon. My daughter who has run in 3 Boston Marathons (3 hours and 11 min) gave me a training program. Running on roads with snow drifts over my head, and being called crazy by the neighbors, led me to a 4 hr. and 33 min run in the Lincoln Marathon. My daughter also ran the last 6 miles with me as I hit the wall too. She kept saying to me the finish will be worth it. It was the most rewarding thing I have done outside of raising my kids! I hope to run a 4 hr. marathon in Sept. Unbelievable comparison to my story. At 55 I too ran my first marathon.
