marathon report

So glad I ran.

Beat my time by 20 long minutes.

Ran in that good old St. George sunshine. (LOVED IT!)

Didn't decide I'd made a huge mistake until mile 23 or so. (As opposed to last year when I began questioning my sanity around mile 10. Relentless rain will do that to you, I've decided.)

I was so close to not running it due to the fact that I felt under-trained, but I'm so glad I did. I could do a hundred more marathons if they were all like this one.

I have the best running buddies ever! Jeny and Jan, thanks for encouraging me to run!! I love you guys!

Marathons rule.

The end.

Somehow I'm not surprised, but I want to be one voice saying you'd still be loved if you had wimped out. Just less respected. (This from a person who hasn't run a mile since they made me in P.E. and I walked most of it.)
