Finishing A Marathon

This weekend, I finished my first marathon.  I didn't even train for it, i just ran it.  It was really easy, but that was probably because I started at mile 22 of 26.  My friend's dad was running in it.  His name was Mr. Sergio.  He did it last year too.  The Louisiana Marathon goes right in front of my house.  All morning, every time that I walk out my front door, there are always people running by with police men at every section between the blocks.  They go past our house at around mile 11 and then the run some more and come back around at close to mile 22.  I ran with Mr. Sergio when he passed out house the second time.

I got to run to the end of the neighborhood, over the over pass, then all through downtown.  We talked about all sorts of things, which surprised me a lot because I figured that someone who had already run 22 miles wouldn't be in the mood to talk.  We talked about school, sports, and other marathons.  I told him about the disney marathon that my friend once ran in.  It is a marathon where they run throughout Disney World.  I don't know where they start, but I do know they run from Epcot all the way to the Magic Kingdom on the interstate.  They get to run through the parks, meet and take pictures with characters, and get to see all of Disney World from a different view that not many others do.  It is not a serious marathon like the boston marathon is.  I think that it would be fun to do the Disney Half Marathon one day with my family.  I had lots of fun running with Mr. Sergio and am glad that I finished my first marathon!
