I finished Long Island Marathon with my personal best time of 3:47:15 which is about 10 minutes faster than my previous record. This was specially more meaningful because I ran Long Island Marathon two years ago but I didn't finish it. I was so much in pain and disappointed. It really felt terrible to give up and watch other people cross the finish line. Now I feel great and that makes me want more and more. This time, 7 out of 15 Long Island Branch members ran full marathon and most of them did well. I hope everyone join Wineglass Marathon in October and have a good time. One thing I want to add is about the barbeque afterward in pouring rain. Next time we should plan according to weather forecast. Anyway, I really thank everyone who prepare food and stuff for the barbeque.
