Wow,

God does miracles!!! When I started out my first mile my leg started hurting, but I thought nothing about it and kept running. But as time kept going on and on it was getting worse and worse to the point that I was about to stop. And I kept praying and praying asking for Gods help and just when I was about to slow down, I SAW GRASS. That is what I needed, because running on grass is not as hard on my leg as cement and asphalt. As soon as I started to run on the grass my Pain went away and so every chance I had to run on grass and dirt I took it, but I did get a lot of weird looks from people cheering us on. Actually people had to move out of my way so I could keep running. But I did it!! So here are my times for the race,

1. 8:39

Good job of the half! Looks like it's time to look to the long term goals that have suddenly become the new ones.

Thank you, but my IT is sure hurting.

Way to go Barry I knew you could do it, and I was praying that you would get under 2 hours. Do some foam rolling the next few days, and take an ice bath.

Thank you for all your prayers, i could feel them when i was running. Also, GREAT job on your marathon. The winner for City of trees marathon was 2:39:32. Also, do you think i should run or take some time off?

Great race result Barry. I would rest the leg a bit and really stretch and massage it out.
