Terry and I completed our first marathon (a trail marathon) yesterday! He could have finished much faster, but he stayed with me. I am thankful that he did; I needed his support, especially at miles 18-23. He encouraged me to run 3/4 of the last mile so that I could beat 7 hours. God is so good; I didn’t know if I had enough physical or mental preparation, but He saw me through. Thanks, also, to all the people who supported me; Kara, the signs were a great inspiration! Race details are below.
- 26.2 – # of miles completed
- 06:58:49 – time it took to complete
- 26 – # of stream/water crossings
- 17 – degrees at start of race
- 1 – fall on frozen, icy mud
- too many to count – hills, mud bogs, jumps, leaps
- a day in the woods finishing my first marathon with my Honey – priceless
