St. George Marathon Twenty Ten!

Oh man, I had no idea what I was in for.

Me and Julie who is an awesome runner who recruited me to her running group this summer. Waiting at the start. That fire put off alot of heat.

Finishing

My Fans

Yeah, I'm tired. I think I looked a little better at mile 1, this is mile 24.

Trying to push it a bit faster to the finish. Don't remember it being that hard last time to tap into the last surge of energy. I think the sun penetrated my skull too much and I was dehydrated big time. All the water they handed out was warm....yuck.

I hope I beat that girl. GOOOOO!

Julie and me both survived!

More Marathon

Leslie was nice enough to make me signs. I felt special.

Happy to be done. Wanted to fall over.

Love my medal

Hurry and save the moment before I puke. I felt so sick afterwards. The temperature was 80 or more when I finished. The last 10 miles were grueling and I wanted to cry when I finally finished. I went home and took my ice bath and shower. Then we went out to lunch because I figured I should eat, but that was a bad idea. I couldn't eat a thing and felt so nauseated for hours. Perhaps this will be my last one. I also saw the Goold clan in the usual spot and said hi to all. Nice to have family around.

Can you tell Lesie is proud of her signs?
