I made it! I ran my first marathon in 4:29, not fast but I finished. I did many mistakes. The main was to run the first half at my best HM time and therefore paying the price in the second half.
The marathon (Lucerne) was wonderfully organised. Weather was wonderful, 14 degrees not too sunny. Perfect weather! It was an amazing experience, and apart from aching legs no bad effects! I am hooked. In one month I will run the Florence marathon with my wife, now with more experience on my side ;-)
The worst part was between the 28th Km and the 36-37Km, where the pain was intense. After the 37Km everything fade away and I was able to run fast again! I was amazed. The experience was incredible, and the adventure fantastic!
I am looking forward to Florence end of next month!

Did your run with my girl friend as pacemaker?
I paced 4:15. Saluti, Roberto
Thanks Roby! Speak italian? Me too :-) I did not run with any pacemaker, but it would be nice to know someone in Switzerland who runs regularly marathons. Where you live?
