Marathon Runners

I am in awe and inspired by those that participate in marathons and half-marathons and the like. Even at my peak of running 3 miles was about my limit before I got bored or too tired. Nowadays, I pretty much stick to a jog/walk so all those completing 13.1 miles and 26.2 miles just sounds absolutely impossible! But alas, it's crazy what the body can do when we put our mind to something! I would like to especially congratulate my two marathon running friends Kelly and Leyla!

Kelly finished a half-marathon in Austin, TX in February and finished in 2 hrs and 20 minutes. This is her at mile 10 and still going strong!

Leyla just ran the Marine Corps Marathon in D.C. this last weekend and finished in 3 hrs and 40 minutes, which automatically qualified her for the Boston Marathon on April!! Training for this marathon, Leyla runs about 5-6 miles a day and 13-22 miles on the weekend!! So congrats for sticking to it and good luck in April!!!
