Marathon weekend was fun, terrible and exhilarating all at once. It was hot (86°) and I was injured (I tweaked my knee on my last training run) but thanks to Heath, Violet, my mom, and a fantastic cheering squad...I finished.
I can't thank Sarah, Lenore, Susan and John enough for coming out and not just being with my family, but being my family on a very hot, difficult afternoon. John ran part of the race with me and Sarah actually crossed the finish line with me. It was all pretty emotional.
I love my husband for not only bringing Violet, but then bringing her along for the last 5 miles of the race, the three of us running together just when I needed the emotional support.
It was an experience...and one I will never, ever replicate. :-)
