I did it....

October 11, 2009

.....I finished the 2009 Chicago Marathon in 5:43:07.  I ache all over including those in my fingers (joke).  I have many things to tell but just very tired for now.  It was very emotional for me to cross that finish line.  All the pent up emotions just came gushing out. 

I will tell you more about it tomorrow including the message I wrote in my shirt to the Kenyans.

 

Life is awesome.  Thank you for all your support and prayers.  I really appreciate all of them.
