On February 15th Aaron ran the full marathon and I ran the half. I'm not a runner but had a little healthy peer pressure from a friend and my sister. When Aaron decided to train and I thought I could see how it went. I knew I could do it when I finished a four mile run with my sister on Christmas day, thanks for the encouragement Katie! So, less than 2 months later, race day was upon us. I thought I had lost my mind when I got up on Sunday morning to get ready. Trying to eat was a joke, the nerves had set in. But as the sun came up and the race began, we set off on a journey I thought I might never take. It was incredible to cross the finish line.
