26.2

Maybe it's bragging, but I'm going to post it anyway... Pat and I ran a marathon this morning!!!! Well, not exactly, but if you combine our miles, we did 26.2, and that's pretty amazing to me! I'm always grateful to have Pat in my life, and I'll tell you, when he emerged running toward me at my mile 9 waving a water bottle in the air, he reached a new level of hero in my book! :)

I didn't think it was possible, but I have even more respect for all you runners out there after today. I'm pretty sure that running 10 (.2!) miles (yes, that means Patrick ran SIXTEEN!) was one of the hardest physical challenges I've ever faced, and I am well aware that that's just a fraction of what many of you have accomplished!! So I am very proud of us today, and even more proud to be a part of such a strong group of people. 7 weeks to go!!!!
