I Did It!!!

I ran 26.2 miles today! It was an AMAZING experience. I have so much to share about it but we just barely got home from San Antonio and I REALLY need to take a shower. Be on the look out for a race report (not tonight)...

Here is a sneak peek. That's me in the purple shirt crossing the finish line. 6:22:13 is the time I crossed the finish line after the gun went off. But my unofficial time is something like 5:39:38 (yeah, it took me about 45 minutes to get to the start line...there were 30,000 runners!).

  2. Yay! Now I know FOR SURE I did see you and it wasn't just my imagination. :) (Brian was in doubt that I'd be able to find you.) I'm so proud of you and I can't wait for the report!
