I haven't had much time to post... I have been on such a high! I finished the marathon in 5 hours, 13 minutes and 49 seconds. It was the hardest thing I have ever had to do. ...and it was a total blast. I had a really hard time with the last 6 miles, but luckly Dax saw Kate and connected us so that we could finish together. She totally doctored me with sodium, and caffiene and water... and got me there. I was so thankful for her. We were so glad that we could finish together. My whole family was there... and a couple of friends showed up to support me. It was such a fun day. I felt so thankful for the family and friends that were there. I also was so honored that the marines were cheering me on. It really was a great day!!! After the race, we met at the Iwo Jima and then headed to a Mexican restaurant. I got two margaritas and was feeling great. I was buzzed from the alcohol, finishing the race, and from my family and friends around me. It was just wonderful. And then, Dax and I being psycho, walked home. I must have gone about 30 miles total that day. I am still sore today. I have taken Epsom salts baths everyday.. That seems to help. But, I think there is no getting around the soreness. Anyway, I am thrilled I have it done with ... and it is fun to celebrate!!!
