I finished!

So, I finished the marathon on Sunday.  It ended up being HOT and I didn't have my best day ever, but I ran it in under 5 hours which was my goal (4:57:10, to be exact).  Lots of walking happened after mile 22, but I did finish running!  Thanks to all who supported me from far away, my running partner Kim (who I stuck with until mile 17), my awesome training group (go Niles CARA!), and my friends and family who made it out that day (Scott and Emily, Dad, my brother Jon, Joshua, and Andy).  A special shout out to Andy who made it possible for me to train for this thing and made the day special.

Here is a pic of me with my friend Kim around mile 12, while we still looked good ;)
