Hard to believe it's all over! Marsh and I completed the Kiawah Island marathon last weekend. We drove over last Thursday - 2 cars, 2 kids and 2 grandmothers. It took ALL day :) Friday was packet pickup and an attempt to relax. Saturday was race day and Sunday was the trek home.
We woke up Saturday to rain. I had been tracking the weather for the past 2 weeks...no rain...therefore we did not have rain gear. I was so upset! But when we started to run the rain didn't bother me...when the rain stopped it was worse because it was cold!! I believe that is why I ran so fast - somehow I posted an official time of 3:32:34/ gun time 3:33:14 and placed 3rd in my age group. This was much faster than I had planned to run - I was just trying to hit 3:45. So I have officially qualified for Boston - woo hoo! Only down side is that Marsh missed his goal time. It's so much harder for the men,it's not fair. He is going to try again in March.
Here are some pictures...my mom was in charge of the camera hence the far away pics of the finish....
Hope the holiday season is in full swing for everyone!
