26.2 whoo-hoo!!!

Today, I'm recovering from finishing my first marathon. My friend Donelle and I ran the Portland Marathon. It was an amazing feeling. A year ago, I would have never guessed I could have done this. With several different running partners, I did it!
My husband and his buddy cheered my on.
Here are some pictures he took along the way.

I finished in 4:44 and 35 seconds.
My proud husband!
He said he teared up a couple times....so sweet!
I know...this is very gross, but I just had to show what 26.2 miles does to a foot:(
I'm hoping to get a pedicure this week.
Jasmynn accomplished a jog-a-thon a few days ago.

She was given a medal at the end of her jog!
Funny thing...I told her I was proud of her and she responded,"this is fake, see, the medal says it's made in China." She cracks my up

Wohoo, Congratulations to both of you ladies. (I knew something was up.)

On the bright side you CAN have a pedicure. I had a male friend who said the t-shirt he wore reeked havoc on his nipples! How in the world do you take care of that?

Ona said...

Alida...not sure, but, OUCH!

He should have worn a man-bra.

I really hope you are not going to get a pedicure. Nobody wants to see those toes! Actually, that pic makes your toes look way better then they do in person.

So in awe of you right now:)
