The Long Walk

I finished the 20th Los Angeles marathon.
It took slightly more than 7 hours, but
I finished a marathon.
I had to walk most of the second half because my thigh muscles were rebelling, but
I finished a marathon.
I only trained hard for 2 months, really, but
I finished a marathon.
I even had a lingering sinus infection, and a coughing fit for most of mile five, but
I finished a marathon.

I finished a marathon.
