and then, i had a soccer game.

what do you think about during 7 hours walking a marathon? seems that over the course of 7 hours you would think about a lot of things, a lot of different things. but the thing about walking fast is that it takes more focus than just simply walking and if you let down your focus, you'll be simply walking and that's not what you're out there for. so you spend a great deal of the time thinking about what you're doing. and when you think about what you're doing, you will naturally consider when you might be done, and following from that, you will think about what you will do when are done.

i focused on what i was doing, determined that i would do everything possible to finish in under 7 hours (6:59:20!), and that when i was done i would immediately eat something and quickly remove my shoes.

that's it. 7 hours of nothing much. except finishing a marathon! woo woo!!
