Happy Monday friends, popping in with a card for no particular challenge and pictures from yesterday at Cincinnati's Flying Pig Marathon. We had gorgeous weather for race day. Warmer than we've had all year. My niece, Elizabeth, wanted us all to run so despite not training together we've all been keeping up to date on how we've been doing. We were all super pumped up. Neal and I stuck together for the first 7 miles and then I told him to go ahead when we were going up a huge hill. Couldn't quite keep the legs going! We were cheered along by our parents, Pat and a special treat to have my Uncle Danny and Auntie Pat visiting from England (Sandie's amazing mum and dad). Neal finished up first at 2.07.59 and I came him behind him at 2.14.02. 4.40 better than my previous best. Elizabeth didn't have as much time to train and Cindy stuck with her. Elizabeth gave us a scare at the end (her temp went up really high...see her in the ice tank below), but most importantly she is okay...and still finished with an amazing time at 2.30. Love all the smiles! Happy Monday...another one in the books...not sure I'll do it again! Third time might have been the final!

Congratulations! Love seeing those pictures. Perhaps marathons are like babies? When you are in the midst, you say never again, and then 2 years later, what do you know but you are at it again! Start training for the San Diego Rock n Roll Marathon, and I will be cheering you all the way.
