I finished my marathon :)
Over a semester of training.
More hours and miles than I can count.
After talking to my fellow racers on Sunday I discovered Big Sur is the most difficult race in America.
Can't move.
Luke's knee made it all 26.2 miles.
Hurricane Point was the greatest climb of my life.
GU should be called "power puss."
Celebrated with an IN 'N Out burger and a diet coke after the race.
Limped around the airport and downtown San Francisco.
Woke up at 3am to get to the starting line.
Read a wonderful note from a wonderful roommate before beginning the race.
Saw Julie from the Real World New Orleans on our flight.
Cried like an mental patient at the finish line.
"One more mile, Luke! One more mile" (Cue tears)
Sang "How Great Thou Art" and meant it in a whole new way.
Saw some whales and a seal.
I may wear my race shirt and sweat pants all week.
Found out my Dad asked the entire congregation of my church to pray for Luke and me.

Thanks everyone for being wonderful and supporting me. Y'all me everything to me :)
