Today I became a marathoner! This was, by far, one of the hardest things I've ever done. But...I Did It! I had so many people cheering for me, both on the course (Thanks hubby, kids, Dad, Angie, Joe, Mel, Dan, a few of my students-huge surprise!, Mark-another surprise, Judi at the finish line, & anyone else I can't remember-sorry), plus all of my friends on twitter and facebook. You all freaking ROCK! I had tears reading all of your tweets and FB posts after I finished. Angie ran (term used extremely loosely) the last 5k with me and really kept me going, convincing me to run at least until the next flag, or the next portajohn, when all I wanted to do was walk. At the end, my kids ran across the finish line with me! I'm hoping to get more of a race report up on my blog in a couple days, but for now - I'M A MARATHONER!!!!!

@Erin C - they weren't there to see me, specifically, but were manning an aide station and recognized me before I recognized them. The 2 girls both screamed "Mrs. F!!!!" and ran over to give me a giant hug. It was so cool.
