Two weeks ago (Oct. 19) Brett and I did the Columbus Marathon. This was our second race, Brett's first full and my second half. We had ideal weather conditions. Brett's goal was to finish in 5 hours. Official time: 4:55! I expected to finish in 3.5 hours. Official time: 3:06! That's a personal record by 23 minutes!
We both have benefited tremendously from our coaches with Team In Training. Even though we weren't fundraising for this race, they encouraged us to come on out and train with the team. We especially appreciated our training in mile 12 (of the half) and mile 23 (of the full) where there were slight hills. We passed tons of people on those hills, still feeling strong when others struggled! We're ready to sign up for another one. We're looking at the Illinois Marathon in Champaign--the finish line is the 50 yard line at Memorial Stadium! How cool is that?

Way to go!!! Can we look forward to watching you both participate in the Ironman someday? I know a couple of cheerleaders that would love to go along and watch.
