After training for several months I finally ran my marathon! I proudly finished in 5 hrs 48 mins. Prescott is a cute little city in the mountains that we really enjoyed exploring. We carbo-loaded at a cute little European restaurant in historic downtown and then stayed in a hotel in the woods. I can't think of a more beautiful route to run since the whole marathon was in the mountains, mostly on dirt roads. We really enjoyed our time there.
We also really appreciate my mom flying down that week to stay at home with Tommy. The day she flew in (the Wednesday before the marathon), Ben, Tommy, and myself were all terribly sick with some kind of stomach flu. Mom braved the House of Death and made us chicken soup and helped us take care of Tommy. Mom and Tommy had a great weekend alone together, played lots of games, and getting to know each other better.
Ben and me at the starting line. It was freezing at 6:00am!
I had no idea what I was in for!
At the finish line. I smiled, raised my arms, clapped, and cried.
The perfect post-marathon treatment: frozen corn on the knees and yummy brownie in my mouth
