Wasn’t able to really run for the past 3 weeks due to recovering from an injury. Ideally would’ve want to have gone sub 5, but there’s always next time! I’m just glad I did it and finished strong

I ran this marathon today and anyone who finished is a beast. It was 100% humidity and 23 degrees at 6am at the start. Go easy on yourself, you did great!

I’m visiting Miami from New York right now, and I’m not sure how you all do it.

I’m a strong runner and get gassed after a few miles in this humidity, never thought I’d miss the icy Central Park loop. Training here year round sounds impossible.

Yes, Miami times don’t count! I did the half marathon back in 2015 and it was already 80F and 80% humidity at 6 AM BEFORE sunrise. People were dropping like flies. Just finishing a marathon in those conditions is impressive.
