FINISHED!!!

I, along with Preston & Katie finished our first marathon yesterday, Saturday September 17th. One of the hardest but most worthwhile things I have ever done!! It was nuts!!! It rained, hailed, rained again, at one point my shoes were full had at least doubled in weight from all the water. I finished in 4 hrs and 50 min, which met my goal to finish under 5 hrs. Someone asked me today what I thought about for that long. . .well for the first part i talked to those around me, then as we got further and more spread out i just thought about life, looked around the canyon, tried to enjoy the rain, but mainly listened to those around me who were talking. For one of the ladies yesterday marked the 126 marathon she had ran. . .SICK!!!! By then end the only thing going through my mind, One foot in front of the other.


Can I move today- sure, I at least made it up the hill to church, its coming down that was the hard part. . .hopefully in a week I'll be movin better!!!


Heres' the real question: Will I ever do one again???


Unfourtantly for me I'm competative and know that I can do better aka run it faster. So yes I will be running another one, maybe next year!!!


You wanna run it with me???
