On New Year's Day '08 I finished my first marathon in Kingwood, TX. Thanks to Michael for supporting me during the months of my marathon training! Every Saturday morning he took care of things so I could recover from insanely long training runs in my ice bath. The night before the big day, Brendan prayed "for mom to win her race." I explained that just finishing this race would be the same as winning!
Marathoners before...
Getting our numbers...
Here's the warmup shot... 
Michael took this gorgeous shot from the course...
On the course...
And the medal display... during these pictures my thoughts drifted to the amazing similarities between finishing a marathon and natural childbirth. What a rush!
