Another one down! I am so excited to have finished the Twin Cities Marathon. I finished at 4:46. I was hoping for a bit faster, but had a brush with the flu two days before the race. I was happy just to be able to run it. It killed me to think all of the training I did over the summer to go to waste. The race was incredible! I could not believe the course. IT WAS BEAUTIFUL!! The crowds were amazing. Most marathons are closed to spectators at some point of the race, but not this one. All 26 miles were lined with spectators. It was fantastic! At about mile 20 I always tell myself that this is the stupid thing ever, and I will never do another, but here I am finishing my 7th marathon. Its pretty addicting for me. I hope to do the Chicago marathon next time... anyone want to run it with me??


Finisher medal and shirt.


Mile 23 trying to get Rory to run with me ;P.


Walking back to the truck after the race...I am so happy to be done!!
