You did a whole marathon?

Well, no! Not all by myself.

WE completed a full marathon. Together. As a team. The "Sole Sistas."
Our shirts said "See mom. See mom run. See mom keep running." I even had a lady cheer "GO MOM GO" as I passed her!
I'd like to think I look bow-legged b/c I'm kicking it into high gear after 5+ miles up Mill mountain! Or perhaps my legs really are shaped like that and no one ever mentioned it.

Cristen waiting for me to cross. (Thanks Erica for taking!) Don't you love how each teammate looks like they standing in a rainbow. I don't think they planned it, however tu-tu girl was planned. Mad props to running up Roanoke Mtn Loop with a tu-tu. Still proud of Cristen for running the hardest leg (LEG #2). It mighta been short, but it was killer!


Cristen smiling with me once I finished LEG #1 and she finished LEG #2!


Here goes Erica for LEG #3. ( I felt blessed that I got to have my teammates cheer me on at the start, then as I finished, then I got to see Cristen and Erica and also Brooke finish. I got to see 4 out of 5 teammates race! And even got to see hubby. And his answer to your question is: YES. He did the FULL (all by himself... and 300 other full marathoners.)
I wanted to run along side him for a photo. I know. I'm a dork.

Here we are waiting for Brooke to bring it home (LEG 5)!
GO SOLE SISTA! Drum roll please!

Here we are holding up what leg we ran! I love this photo! Thanks Sole Sistas for inspiring me to run up Mill Mtn in 46 min 22 sec. Not bad for 5.4mi at 30 yrs old! Ehmm I mean 30 yrs young with 75yr old knees.
