Yesterday my wife ran her first marathon in Kansas City. Ran it in just under 4 hours 20 minutes. I just have to brag to a bunch of random internet strangers (and non-internet one too) 🙂

Thanks! She was a little sore and has gone through all the up and down emotions, but she’s already planning her next one (Lincoln next May it looks like). She’s trying to talk me into a 10k sometime, so we’ll see how that goes.

Thanks again.

Wow, my congratulations to her! You’re right to brag about her, even if it’s just to internet strangers. 😃
