This past weekend I ran my first marathon in Spokane. I don't know if I would say it was fun but it was great to finish. We finished in 4 hr. 22 min. I was pretty happy. I'm pretty convinced our bodies were not created to run 26 miles but I know people do it all the time and I'm just in awe of those individuals.

This picture is of an old friend of mine, Tera Stoner. She used to live in Lewiston and we would run together in the summers with a few other friends. She also completed the race (her 4th...and she has 5 kids!!). She's amazing!

This is my friend and running partner, Mandi Timothy. She could of finished the race a lot sooner than myself but she ran with me the whole way. I kept telling her to go on ahead but she just stayed with me. A great runner and if it wasn't for her training with me there is no way I would have done this!

My only injuries from the race. A few blisters. These are the biggest ones I've ever had so I had to take a picture. I know my feet are pretty gross but I was proud of my 'war wounds.' They didn't pop so I was fine.

The FINISH LINE!!!!
