We Win, Josh!

"To finish is to win!"

WE WIN, JOSH!!!


Well... I finished... 4:44:27 -- just 6 minutes and 11 seconds off my goal, yet still still 53 minutes and 49 seconds faster than my first marathon.

I am tired, exhausted and literally just knocked my glasses off my head without realizing it. I will post tomorrow with the full details of the 26.2 mile journey and the storybook ending to 7 1/2 months of training. Just as the story in the program said, it's not just the winners who have the storybook ending. One of the marathon bloggers wrote a particularly inspiring and appropriate message to us all a few weeks prior to the race...


"Let's all be champions on October 12.
There will only be one winner, but we can all be champions."

(To understand the context of his message, you can read his entire posting.)

Again, we win, Josh! I love you!
