I did it!! I had 3 goals for today: 1st... survive (not die), 2nd... finish, and 3rd... finish under 5 hours. What a good time I had! I really didn't think I could finish today. 

I ran the first half non-stop and had a time of 1:58. Right after the half way mark I started my first walk. I wasn't tired but I was making sure my body didn't decided to shut down later on in the race.

At mile 18, I saw a little girl holding up a soda bottle. It was my 4 yr old granddaughter, Dani. YES!!! and it was diet dr pepper and a cookie. After that wonderful time with my sweet sweet dani, I continued on. Then again, at mile 21 a little girl holding a soda bottle up in the air!! And then again at mile 22, my sweetie hold a bottle of diet DP and a cookie.

I finished strong and with an unbelieveable finish time for my condition. My body feels great after one week!! I went for a short run today. I'm okay!!
