Marathon.

26.2 miles. Done!

It went really well considering it was my first one. I came in right at 5 hours which is what I was hoping to do. I'm definitely still feeling the soreness today, 3 days later, but it will soon pass and I will be hitting the pavement again. (I'm actually feeling the itch to run again already...)

I got a package on Monday from one of the most amazing people in the world, Pete from Mpls, congratulating me on the accomplishment. Here is what I got:

Couldn't have been anymore beautiful or sweet.

I had the best support group the day of, and the greatest bunch of friends meet up with me after to celebrate. It was a really, really wonderful day. Thanks to everyone, here and away, who supported me through all of the training, and to those who sent me positive thoughts and vibes the day of. You certainly helped!! Much love,

Marathon excitement.

Two and a half weeks. How did it come up so quickly?! Regardless, I couldn't be more excited. I completed an 18 mile run yesterday and totally rocked it. I can't even believe still that I did that. Who runs 18 miles and is able to be alive, well and walking comfortably the next day?!

Keep me in your thoughts. Actually, keep my knees in your thoughts. xo
