We Did It!!

We did it!! On Sunday September 20, 2009 in beautiful Maui, Hawaii I ran my first marathon (26.2 miles) and Chris ran his first half marathon (13.1 miles). It was amazing!!! It was hot but the views were amazing!! I finished with a time of 4:45:10, 383 out of 1298 runners, 35 out of 110 in my division of women 30-34. Crossing that finish line after the months of training and preparation was unbelievable! I think I can speak for Chris and say that he felt the same way. :) His official time was 2:49:00. I was so proud of him!!!

Here we are after the race by the beach near our resort

Me enjoying the best part of the whole thing :) a wonderful massage after the race! I wish I had a picture of the best part of it all...Chris feeding me fruit while I was getting the massage....everyone was oohing and aahing....they were so jealous! :)

Here we are right after I crossed the finish line in front of the finisher's banner. I love this picture!

I did it! I wish I had a picture like this of Chris. That was the only bad thing about me finishing after him, I didn't get to see him cross the finish line. :(

Here he is after he finished! I made him promise to get someone to take his picture! :)

We had an amazing time in Maui. It was absolutely beatiful and I totally recommend that anyone that hasn't been there get there some time in your life. We have a lot more pictures (duh! :) so I'll try to get those posted soon. Thanks for being so patient on updates. :) We're taking the boys to Iowa City for the Hawkeye game this weekend so I'll get pictures of that up soon too. I know you're dying to see their adorable faces! :)
