Marathon Mania!!!

We did it!!! We all finished our half marathon last week-end! This is my sister Dawn and I just about to cross the finish line. The drums were playing. My family was cheering. It was awesome! My sister-in-law Melinda finished about 12 minutes ahead of us.
We certainly didn't get first, second, or third, but I will so treasure my medal. I worked hard for it. Plus, it is cute!
It was fun to be surrounded by the crowd and be part of all the excitement. I can't wait to tackle another race.
Being at the finisher's line was a rush! It was just a great feeling to have set a goal, worked for it, and accomplished it. I could barely walk the next day and my toe feels like death, but the confidence, health, and strength gained will push me forward to my next challenge---a Triathlon perhaps.
