Back Home

Congratulations to all! Whether you finished or were sent back to the starting line, YOU ARE MARATHONERS! Don't be too disappointed. . . you were there giving it your all and that's the most important part of this journey. I was so honored to be a part of the Curb Crew to cheer you guys on and you did GREAT! Thanks for the hugs and the "high fives" during your run. You guys are amazing! I guess we'll just have to teach the organizers of the Chicago Marathon a thing or two about preparing for hot days. . . we train in it and we know how to prepare for it! Thanks to our great leaders Mark, Robin, Matt & Scotty!
Keep on blogging Marathoners!

p.s. I feel like I walked a half-marathon just trying to keep up with you guys and I did not feel the first pain in my knee!!! The pain on the bottoms of my feet is a completely different story! But now I know that it won't be long before I'm back out there with you guys training again. I have an appointment to see my doctor tomorrow and I hoping after I tell him about Chicago, he'll clear me for training. Hope to see you soon!
