Schmerz is a very good word to know in German. It means pain. So if you are ever hurting, you can just say "Ich habe ein Schmerz" and point to where it hurts. Right now I could point to pretty much anywhere below my waist.
I am glad I had the foresight to take today off from school. Besides the fact that I am exhausted, I can barely walk from my bed to the bathroom to the couch today. I am dreading the staff appreciation dinner tonight for the sole reason that I will have to go up and down stairs.
The marathon was a good experience, I think. I'll write more about the marathon soon, when I regain better control of my physical and mental capacities. I will say that I finished just over 3.5 hours, maintaining my pace goal of 8 minute miles(5 min/km).
I am going to go soak my aching muscles now.
Bravo! Congratulations on finishing the marathon and meeting your pace goal! And I’m amazed that you are with-it enough to post a blog! Pushing your body that far drains carbohydrates that your brain runs on too, :).
I jogged for 20 minutes this morning and was so exhausted after that. Yeah, aching muscles and all.
Now i’m reading about how you finished a marathon. I’m so pathetic by comparison. You rock Matty! Well done!
