Rama’s SCREEN first Marathon ever!

Two weeks ago, March 2nd of 2008, your movie buff, Rama’s SCREEN participated in one of the most grueling marathons in the world. And on top of that, it was my first marathon ever! Ever! I’ve never done anything as crazy as that before in my entire friggin’ life. All the while as I ran, I was thinking “What the hell am I doing here??”
I should’ve trained better.
I managed to get to the 14th mile in two hours but as soon as I hit mile 17, I got cramps attacking my legs like crazy!
But perseverance prevailed. Once I made up my mind, there’s no turning back. I finished the whole thing in 6 hours and 17 minutes.

I know, I know… the time is not that impressive. But I’ll do better next time, I promise…. and by that I mean I’ve signed up San Diego Rock n’ Roll Marathon this coming June and Las Vegas Marathon in December.
I’m not in this to break any record… just to lose my Christmas pounds and for the medallion.
Have I lost my mind? Maybe so… but losing my mind in something as awesome as this experience… I’ll never trade it for anything in the world.
Wanna know what it feels like to run 26.2 miles? Why don’t you sign up and find out for yourself

Here are clips of me running, the video was taken by my friend , Dean, who’s done 5 marathons so far.
The first one was the beginning miles, the second was me struggling to run some more, and the last clip is the the triumph of the finish line. Enjoy and let me know what you think.
