Marathoner... made.

WE MADE IT!

Ashley and I finished the 2008 Big D Texas Marathon at 4:52. Not the fastest time in the world, but seeing as we both battled weeks lost due to foot injury, I have to say that we rocked! The run went really well... no upset stomachs, no trips, and no permanent pains or injuries. I don't think we could have asked for more.

Oh, and that wall I hear talk about? It's there... right around 18 miles. First the thoughts of not being able to finish sneak in, then that little pain in your knee starts to worry you. It goes on and on until suddenly you're around mile 21 and you realize you've got less than a mid-week run to go... and that's all it takes.

Round two? Bring it on.
