Did my first 50K yesterday. Cried at mile 28. Would do it again tomorrow.

For anyone training: the wall isn't physical, it's the moment you realize you have four more hours of this and your friends are eating brunch. Push through it. The other side is great.

Top comment: name your starter Margaret. Bottom comment: never trust people who don't.

The wall is real. Push through it. The other side is great.

Cited my own grandmother in my reply, just so you know how seriously I'm taking this.
