Family Marathon

January 30 and 31st Me and the kids completed our first ever Marathon 26.2miles.

For two months the kids were allowed to run miles and add them together so on the morning of January 30, 2010 they would only have to run 1 mile to equal a full Marathon. And boy what a morning- it was soooo cold and Jon Cole's exact words were "do we have to swim or just run today"? love him. Tyeann took off running on her own and I promised that I would be at her finish line to take photo's and cheer. She looks like me all bundled up! She never stopped! so proud!!

Jon Cole had daddy running with him and as soon as he saw the finish line he took off! He never stopped during the mile run! what a big accomplishment for a Five yr old.

So here I am finishing my first full Marathon....so let me tell you what! My long runs are usually only 6-8miles and I have only run 15miles and 18miles once! but I had to support Waco and get it into my head that I could run and finish 26.2miles. I really think I should of thought this whole thing through. Everyone said this was the hardest Marathon in TX, the last 15miles were all hills, it was 24degrees at the start, mile 19 it started to snow and what was I thinking.....maybe I am a mental patient. I crossed the finish line in 4.04hours feeling good but very frozen!!!! I may have to run another one in a flat and warm climate to see how fast I can run- hum maybe not:) LOL
