Marathon Report




The good news is I finished the marathon. With my injuries and training, I was wondering if I could finish. So I was happy to finish. The worst part of the whole deal was that I felt good other than the pain in my knee. Which I think is still that darn IT band. The "Special" cream that the Dr. gave me did NOT help in any way! I will stick to 1/2 marathons, bike races/events, try a tri & other stuff that doesn't hurt so much. I am glad that I was able to run with Kris. I hope that I didn't hold her back. We were able to finish together. Shane, JT, Arie, Jared, Brecklyn and Trey were all at the finish line waiting for us and cheering us on!

congrats! That's an awesome accomplishment. I want to run a marathon one day solely for the bragging rights. I detest running, so that might be a hard goal!
