I love to read that. It's not all about what that clock said.<br /><br />It is unfortunate that as moms we have to "fit in" our training and as a result you didn't get to train in race conditions. With that said I think you did a great job finishing strong. You look wonderful at the finish! <br /><br />Like Shellyrm ~ just a country runnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03822262051285512641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2256092718078513660.post-83440342864731570822010-10-07T12:35:00.941-06:002010-10-07T12:35:00.941-06:00congrats! love the pic!congrats! love the pic!Triciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16665644808858115598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2256092718078513660.post-28673183483278944732010-10-07T07:31:43.945-06:002010-10-07T07:31:43.945-06:00Every marathon finish counts, well done!
