I ran a marathon!!!

I did, I did. All 26.2 miles. Was it fun? eh.... Will I do another one? eh.... Am I glad I did it? Most definitely. I completed it, the Atlantic City Marathon, in 3:58. My goal was under four hours, yahoo! I had to do a sprint at the end, but I made it. Jared and Connor ran the last three miles with me which was wonderful. I certainly feel like I know Atlantic City now. I went all over the island, including the famous Atlantic City board walk.
I also have to point out, I do realize that for someone who doesn't like pink I am wearing a lot of pink. It just worked out that way. This was my most comfortable running shirt, they only had pink shoes in my size, and a dear friend of mine could help but give me pink running shorts which also happened to be incredible comfy. But in case you were wondering, no I still am not a pink girl.

    Nat you are my inspiration!!! I think that you secretly love pink but have gone so long telling everyone you hate it that now you have to pretend to dislike it! Great job, next step the Boston Marathon. We even have a place for you to stay!!

    Dang, Nat! Way to go! Under 4 hours is just crazy! Also: 1}Connor all of a sudden looks like a toddler now, not a baby 2} He has a ton of hair! 3} Maybe you should consider becoming a pink girl, it suits you well :)

    Well done! Way to hang in there on the marathon (maybe your excitement about wearing pink put an extra spring in your step)!!! I would like to think that your wardrobe has something to do with my good influence - I just knew you had it in you!
