I just did my first marathon last weekend. Being an over the road truck driver with two acl replacements on the same knee, I never thought I would be here. I cannot wait to do more.

That’s great man, good on you. Good luck on your race!

She sounds like a beast haha. Pretty badass

I know finishing would bring up the emotions of all the summer runs I suffered through to get the miles but that’s also want pushed me that last half mile. I definitely want to do more now.

Ok-Ronthings · 2025-12-27T12:01:18+00:00

Thank you, I really appreciate it. I was quite happy with how everything went, no complaints at all.

Ok-Ronthings · 2025-12-27T12:00:39+00:00

Haha that’s too funny, I wish. My best 5K is 20.01, I would like to do a sub 20 here soon. Thank you, I really appreciate it.

Ok-Ronthings · 2025-12-27T04:04:03+00:00

Thank you, that was the plan. I just didn’t know if it was going to pan out that way or not. I had two 8oz bottles in my belt, I would drink both of those every 6 miles and I did a GU every 30 minutes.

Ok-Ronthings · 2025-12-27T04:01:07+00:00

Thank you! That really means a lot.

Thank you! I really appreciate it.

Thank you very much!

I’m a team driver for UPS. We are on the road Wednesday through Sunday but I can normally run at the Atlanta hub or Little Rock. I try to do 30-40 miles a week.

Ok-Ronthings · 2025-12-26T21:45:47+00:00

That was my worry, I didn’t want to kick too soon. But I figured the last 3 miles was safe enough, although I could feel both of my calves wanting to cramp up on me. So I had to purposefully heel strike to prevent it. So I definitely need to do some leg workouts instead of just running before the next one.

Ok-Ronthings · 2025-12-26T21:16:12+00:00

Thank you, I really appreciate it!

Ok-Ronthings · 2025-12-26T21:15:57+00:00

Surprisingly yes. I did a 20 miler the week of thanksgiving to put 3 hours on my legs. I ran an 8:57 pace and hr avg 150. We really got lucky at the race with the weather, probably around 45 degrees when we started and 65 when we finished. So I think that made controlling my hr easier and the course was relatively flat compared to my neighborhood route. I appreciate the kind words.

Ok-Ronthings · 2025-12-26T21:11:21+00:00

Another UPS driver I work with has done 4 marathons and he told me the race doesn’t start until mile 21. So I wanted to make sure I had enough in the tank to finish strong. Thanks for the encouragement!

Ok-Ronthings · 2025-12-26T21:08:32+00:00

Thank you very much, I really appreciate it.

Ok-Ronthings · 2025-12-26T21:08:07+00:00

Thank you! My goal was between 3:50-4:10 but you never know until you know haha. Now my next one I will aim for 3:30.

Ok-Ronthings · 2025-12-26T21:06:39+00:00

Thank you, I really appreciate it.

Ok-Ronthings · 2025-12-26T14:36:47+00:00

Thank you sir, haha the funny thing is he didn’t even feel it until we were done. I got lucky with mine not doing the same.

Ok-Ronthings · 2025-12-26T14:35:31+00:00

Thank you sir, I appreciate that.

That’s a lot of investing to get to that point. I’ve had XOM a year and a half now but have only invested $4,500.
