Guam International Marathon

Jonathan and I participated in the Guam International Marathon last weekend. I ran the 5K (still battling hamstring tendonitis?) and Jonathan ran the Half Marathon. Because it is so hot when the sun is up, they started the races super early! The marathon start time was 3am, half 4am, 10K 5am and 5K 6am. We had no idea what parking would be like so we took one car even though my start time was 2 hours after Jonathan's start time. ugh. We left the house at 2:45am. That was rough. We got there in plenty of time to park, drop off his bag and check out the start line before Jonathan's race. There was a pretty cool blue light tunnel at the start line.

Some traditional dancing before all of the races. 

Jonathan was very easy to spot in that shirt

They're off!

After the Half race started, I went back to the car to "sleep" for about an hour. It turns out we left a light on in the car. Oops! It was a good thing I went back to the car after Jonathan's race started. I'm not quite sure what we would've done. No AAA in Guam...

We did it!

I am very eager to figure out and solve my knees/hamstring issues! I was pretty envious of all of the Half marathon finishers. I hope I will be running the half next year. Jonathan finished in 2:02, setting his personal PR in the half marathon (it wasn't difficult, he has only run that distance twice).

The rest of the day was shot. Jonathan was tired from running 13.1 miles and I was mostly tired from no sleep. We napped for a bit and then stopped by Meskla Dos for some burgers.

This burger was huge!

Buggest lettuce wrap burger ever.

Not a bad view
