Well, so I didn't actually run the full thing, but given that Quito sits above 9,000 ft., doing half of it in under 2 hours should count for something. I ran alone - waking up at 5 AM for a 6 AM 13 mile run isn't everyone's idea of a good time? - but somehow enjoyed myself despite my condition.
I was running on fumes the whole way, only two days off of an all-nighter that began when classes ended, salsa dancing started, and then at 4 AM my friends and I embarked on an 8 hour bus ride to the Northern coast, where we spent two days and one night at the beach before the long return in time for the marathon. Maybe that's why I haven't done much running since...
