15 miles before I got really sick at the marathon. I pulled out of the UVM at mile 15 and had a volunteer take me down to the finish line. Even though I was super sick and more frustrated, I still had one of the best marathon experiences ever! I made it down to the finish line at about 2 hours and 45 minutes. I got to see David finish his first marathon right behind the finish line. I was so excited to see him finish. He finished at 3:06 for his first marathon, seeesssshhh! He did an awesome job. He looked rather pale when he crossed the finish line and I got to catch him. :) I took him to the med tent and celebrated his special moment with him. I was extremely proud of the boy! BQ for a first time marathoner? WOW. As for me, taking a step back from running for a few weeks and feeling great about it!
