Yeah!! I ran my marathon in 4 hours and 13 mins. Just after the finish line Virginia and I were laying on the grass completely excited about our accomplishment but also in great pain. She leaned over and offered her knuckles. I lightly tapped them with my own as she mentioned some phrase of relief. We then examined our current predicament and she turned to me in serious concern, "But what are we going to do, we can't move." My answer was Ibuprofen. Later, Emily, Virginia, and I took pictures in front of the Finishers backdrop and returned home as marathon runners. I don't think I told them how much that ment to me. It was an empowering experience I would never have attempted without their confidence.
