My sweet husband and the Evans family chased me for 4 hours through tons of traffic and with 7 kids to cheer me on. They deserve an award. 12 weeks of training. I am so happy this is over. And a teeny tiny bit sad.
The trail was my favorite training run.
There was one run that had to be done in rain. It was fun.
Race Day.
So thankful for my friend Mary!! She is an amazing person. I dreaded our 4 a.m. trainings, but 10 min. into it she would have me laughing. Making the runs seem not so bad after all. She was also like an angel on earth the last 2 miles of the marathon. I wouldn't have made it without her.
4:15 was my goal, I got a little ambitious around mile 10 and decided to try and catch the 4:05 pacer. Overall I think that mistake resulted in a worse time. I did not make my goal and came in somewhere around 4:26.
These are ugly but I am documenting them anyway.
26.2 Woohoo!
