ten years ago I decided to run a marathon. My mom had just finished her marathon in St George and I thought it would be fun to say I did the same, so I decided then to run a marathon in 2010. What I didn't know then was how stupid of an idea it is to run a marathon. They are long, painful, boring if you are by yourself, and extremely cold if it decides to pour on you for a good 7-8 miles. But it feels good to say I accomplished something hard, even if it took me way too long. I did it. It is done, and crossed off the list. I no longer have to go out on long runs on Saturday and hope I make it home.

this is when I still felt okay... before the rain/mud/freezing cold, here is was only cold...
