Mom Wins!

June 26, 2011 · full marathons

I finally got my marathon!

4:42:51

It was great. Tough, but great and I can’t wait to do another one…okay, gonna take a break from marathon training for a while, but I know I’ll do another one.

What an incredible experience! A little sad it is over. Did NOT expect to feel like that.

Right before the race! So exciting! I was jittery!
Back row: Jess (in black tank), Blonde Mom, Mel, Jesse,  Diana and Zoe.
Front: Amanda, Me, Alma and Jill.
Thanks to Amanda for the pic!

Of course, a full recap+ to come soon. Thanks so much for all the lovely comments and wishes!

This will go down as one of the best days of your life. Seriously. This feeling will only get better and better as time goes on, believe me. You will draw so much strength from having run your marathon that you will feel invincible. Because really, when you've run 26.2 miles, ______ is nothing!!! Fill in the blank with almost anything and it's true!!Congratulations, marathoner!
