So this is it...six months of training coming down to one morning. (It is not the destination, but the journey) Many blisters, lots of baby-sitters (Heidi, Victoria, Connie and Joe)...not to go out but to go running, early morning wake-ups, speed workouts at Balboa Stadium, pushing the jogger for 6.5 miles every Monday, training with a group that is so inspiring (Arden, Deana, Craig and Susie especially), setting a goal and achieving it, getting through an injury when I wasn't sure that I would, solving the world's problems during long runs, no longer running with an Ipod, becoming life long friends with the best running partner anyone could ask for, realizing what an amazing group of friends I have and how supportive they all are.
Condra and I went to the convention center to pick up our bib numbers.
Saturday, May 31st, after our pasta dinner.
Here we are at our gear check UPS truck. We are about to do this!
How do I look? I just ran 26.2 miles (4:00:08). Help...my toe is cramping!
Jen and Meredith were waiting for us at the finish line. Thanks Meredith for the yummy Popsicles.
