Who Says I Can't

Here's a link to a pretty amazing blog I found! Hope you think so as well!

The Chicago Marathon was a blast! It was my first marathon and I went into it thinking it would be my one and only. I had so much fun that I think I might do another one someday. The course was flat and there were spectators lined the entire 26.2 miles...what a rush! I did get a painful calf cramp at mile 18 but I didn't let it stop me from finishing. Woohoo! I'm a marathon finisher! Now the St. Judes Half Marathon will seem like a 5k race!

Marathon Training Complete

We marked the end of our marathon training this morning with a nice cool weather 3- miler followed by a wonderful breakfast. The group was: Suzanne, Skip, Joanna, Charlene, Mike Yarbrough, Sheila, Tom, Mike Donovan, Leigh, Beth, Leslie Hudson and my oldest daughter Julia (we missed you Michele, Brad and Mary). The long hard journey is over and we've already won because, as Chuck says, we've made it to the start line! Now it's time to relax and enjoy the experience. Please send thoughts and prayers to us on Sunday morning and throughout the weekend as we travel to and conquer Chicago!
