A few months after graduating from college, I ran the Detroit International Marathon. This marathon is awesome because you get to start in the United States, cross over a bridge into Canada, and then finish back in the U.S.! Although this marathon was awesome, it was also the hardest physical thing that I ever did. Walking up and down stairs the next day became almost impossible. I didn't run for a couple of weeks afterwards and my legs felt sore for months. I honestly thought that I would never run a marathon again … and I was almost correct because it took me 2 years before I ran another one.
