Lets just say I can't walk very good today, but I did finish the Marathon. It was a harder run for me my legs were on fire for more than half of the run but I kept the pacer in my sights so I could meet my goal. I was happy with my time event though I was three minutes behind my last marathon I ran. It was a beautiful morning. I was really lucky my good friend Lauren invited me to go up and stay in Central the night before it was so nice we woke up got ready and drove down to the starting line which was a block away Charly ( who we stayed with) dropped us off and we ran to the finish line and about two minutes later they started us - it was awesome!! I owe Anna, Steve, Charly, and Lauren a big one for that. They have all been so fun to run with. They all did a great job on the race. Lauren got pretty sick so it wasn't her best marathon and it made me feel really bad because we both wanted to qualify for the Boston and run it together, but she is going to make it on her next one. She is amazing I wouldn't have even been able to finish the race if I was in as much pain as she was so way to go girl!! She is awesome she decorated my house with all sorts of motivating stuff. I have loved running with her and getting to know her better. Whenever I am done running with her or just being around her I leave with a smile she is such a positive person and I admire her!
I also need to thank my husband and everyone that cheered me on. It truly helps me get through at the end. I have great friends! My husband is the best he was right there cheering me on and had a little gift for me after the race. I truly have the best husband ever - he even gave me the best massage on my legs afterward which I REALLY needed. He is the best!!
