I find people get very sidetracked by talking about race time and pace. Sometimes, I think this might even make beginners feel a bit discouraged. So I want to remind everyone of one great thing about running. If you cross that line, no matter the time, you are a marathoner and you reached a great goal and a major accomplishment. Some may do it faster and others might be slower, but in the end, you know the hard work you put into your training. Be proud and do not let a race time define you. There will be races where all goes well and others where things don't line up, but in every race, there are hours of hard work and dedication and the finish time will never take that away. It is yours to be proud of when you get your medal, no matter the time!
