This photo and my face pretty much says it all.

Tough.

That is the one word that describes the 2011 Grandma's Marathon.

...but Worth It.

3:44:29 - a new pr by 7 minutes, 59 seconds.

Somehow, in 4 short weeks, I managed to find it in me to shave off  nearly 8 minutes.

Ummmm....what?!

A full recap will be up soon, but right now, I can only wonder what the Twin Cities Marathon will bring in October.  Perhaps a BQ???

    OMG OMG OMG! You are so amazing and incredible. Did I tell you that you inspired me so much that I agreed to train for the Des Moines Marathon in October? Yeah, you're that awesome! Also, I love the photo of your mom and her sign.

    You stay healthy and that BQ is yours for the taking lady! I'll be up in the cities for TCM weekend, so I'll definitely be cheering you on.

    I was tracking you from back here and freaking out to Kyle. "OMG SHE'S ON PACE TO TAKE 8 MINUTES OFF HER TIME FROM FARGO...WHICH WAS 8 MINUTES FASTER THAN HER GOAL FOR FARGO!!!!"
    It was a little ridiculous, but I was crazy happy you did so well. Can't wait for the full report. :)
