My First Marathon
I completed my first WHOLE marathon this past Sunday! All 26.2 miles of pure stamina. My goal was 7 hours. I walked it, no running aloud when you sign up to walk. I was done in 6 hrs. 47 min. My plan for next year is to sign up as a runner and finish in 6 - 6 hrs. 15 min. I am super pumped and seeing mile marker 26 and the finish line is without a doubt the best feeling I have ever had in my life. I know I have accomplished something I never thought I would have the courage to even start...and I did it! I feel like I'm on top of the world...along with one blister and a little bit of soreness. I would put up a picture but Wes has the camera cord for me to download them to the computer. They will be posted this weekend when I see him.

That is amazing. What a huge accomplishment. I just signed up for a half marathon. I am already nervous about it.
thanks Anna! My mom and I have already decided on a strategy for next year...We're going to run it so we can travel to other places around the country and do their marathons. Not that many allow walkers. We hope to come in under 6 hours next year.
