I'm breaking my long silence to post about a long-term goal my daughter has just achieved. A little over a year ago, she decided to begin training for a marathon that was held in Richmond, Virginia on Saturday, November 15th, 2008. She completed the marathon in a little over 4 hours, running the entire distance. Although she suffered a number of injuries during the year of preparation leading up to the marathon, she always returned to her running after the injuries healed. She never was a runner before training for this event, but sometime during her year of training she developed a dedication and passion for this activity that she has never exhibited for anything else in her life. Needless to say, I am incredibly proud of her. You go girl!
Mile 24 and still smiling!
Her brother's support was much appreciated.
