I did it! I ran my marathon. I actually had planned to do it on June 16th. I went out on Saturday for a 20-mile run and it was perfect running weather...cloudy, cool, etc. I was feeling great after mile 14, so I decided to just go for it. There were too many reasons to finish it that I had to give it a try. I could start walking with Sandy and Sherie again. We solve the world's problems on our walks, after all. I wouldn't have to schedule and map out runs while on our upcoming vacation to Nauvoo, Illinois. I would be done buying shot blocks, sports beans, and other energy boosters for consumption during running. I could let the blister on my left foot heal, once and for all. So, I did it. Here is photographic proof! Oh, it took me a little over 5 1/2 hours. No official time, but I don't care. Something to think about..."Athletes run...others just play games."

| Near the end. I swear, I was running, even though both feet are on the ground. |

| Dad, me, mom, Allie, Melia and Keenan (Kamiko was at work) |

| Maria Trump came to congratulate - I finished by Panda Express in Pleasant Grove |
 |
| Me and dad. Thanks, mom and dad, for the balloons |
After the marathon, my sister Kris brought me this sticker from California. I'm official now!
 |
| Yes, I am Superwoman and the 26.2 sticker should prove it. |
