26.2

I completed my very first full marathon in Salt Lake. I ran the half marathon last year and loved it and I also did the half in Mapleton, UT so I decided to do something crazy and just keep going. It was seriously the most physically/mentially challenging thing I have ever attempted but eventually the pain went away and my legs kept movin- don't know how but someway somehow they did ;) Anyway I finished... my time was just over 4 hours and I placed really well over all at 400 out of 900 runners, 107 out of 300 females or something like that, and 27 out of 76 or so in my age group (these probably aren't exact numbers but you get the point!). It was one of the goals I had before I graduate from college and start a family so whooo hoo i'll cross that off my list.. or maybe i'll become one of those 50 state marathoners.. the sky is the limit when you are a runner ;) Here is a picture of my Running Buddies! I've started three races with them!
