Mission Accomplished
First marathon: done! By far the most difficult thing I have ever done (physically that is). Seriously thought about quitting from mile 21 onward. Luckily Ariane, the girls, Ragan, and Marco showed up at various points and this allowed me to push through and finish.
Very happy I have reached all of my goals. My official time was 3:30:57.
I'll try and post thought on my training program and overall preparations soon.

Holy crap G! Congrats, that's a huge accomplishment. Would love to hear your post-run thoughts.
Post-run thoughts? This is soooo hard (but now I kind of want to do it again :-)).
And if you have a life and can't commit 6 days a week of running like most program require, my program was perfect. Very feasible, and took me to the finish line.
But getting to the finish line was a huge mental challenge. Happy I did it in the end. I am guessing my cardio is better than its ever been.
Parabéns!!! Thats a seriously good time for a first outing. Amazing fortitude. Seriously worried that you may become an addict as you are already considering doing it again...
