Almost a Bob!!!


This is what running 26.2 miles in the rain, wind, and wearing a garbage bag can do. Note to self do not let this happen again. It sucked!!! About mile 13- soon after taking the soaking wet garbage bag off, my hair started feeling really heavy. I felt it and wanted to scream it was a complete mess. These pics were after I had taken my elastic out, my hair which normally comes down to my mid back now barely passed my shoulders. It was in a million-kizzilion-batrilion knots. I really thought that I was going to have to chop it all off!!! My aunt said there was no way I was cutting it so her and I spent the next 2.5hours and a gallon of conditioning cream combing it out. I lost quite a bit of hair and it is still pretty damaged, but at least I didnt have to cut it all off!!!!

Only crazy people run Marathons

Well we did it, we ran 26.2 miles in the pouring rain. Can anyone think of something funner? It was actually a great experience. This was Brandons first Marathon and he totally ROCKED IT!! He ran it in 3hr 11min 50sec!!! Thats freakin amazing!
I was glad to finish in 3hr 58min 2sec. I was glad to do it under 4hrs. I ran it with my mom and dad. I need to especially thank my dad- he kept me going at the end. I ended up running the entire thing- yeah, no walking. It was great to actually be passing people at the end- usually its me getting passed by a ton of people.
My Dad and I at the finish
My Mom, ME, and my Daddy!!! YEAH, 26.2 miles down!!!
We had quite the family group running this year. Not only did Brandon, my mom and dad, and I run it, but also my aunt Sheila, aunt Chris, and uncle Curt ran it! WOW 7 of us. We also had quite a few friends there as well, including Kris who kicked some major butt running it in 2hr 54min- thats freakin fast!!!
The worst part about the whole thing was my hair afterwards, it was a complete mess. Some how it got completely tangled-it was basically dred-locks. I really thought I was going to have to chop it off. Luckily 2.5hrs later my aunt and I were finally got a comb through it. My uncle took pics, as soon as I get 'em I will post them!
