Jen,
Congratulations!! That is awesome. I can't imagine running that long. I run for 5 miles and I am beat. That is truly a huge accomplishment.
Love,
Kim Symonds
You ROCK! The paramedics would be called for me at 2.4 blocks. Great job!
Steve Dimond
Good for you! I would love to read all the details but couldn't open the link.
How did you do this with a little baby and a four year old. You are my idol!
Hope to catch up soon.

Dave said the Gunthers looked beat up at the end of the race! I'm sorry but Christy Gunther does not look hammered with that great, big smile upon her face! Christine looks so cool that I can't tell if she is coming or going and Jen.....well, it looks like another 26.2 miles would be NOTHING for her energy level!

Way to go kiddo! As the years go by the routine so-so days and bummer days sort of blend into one and the highlight days remain separate and distinct making a neat bouquet of experiences.
Keep it up

Dear Jennifer!
I am so proud of you. It is something I have always wanted to do -- got up to 22 miles in my training about three years ago and then came to a halt. So I know how hard it is and what you have been through. What a great accomplishment!! Kudos and Hallelujahs!!!!!!!!
Also, I understand that the St. George Marathon has grown so much and that motel space is limited so that they have had admit folks by lottery. Is that still the case? Did you have trouble getting into it?That is one of the marathons I was looking at. The concept of and "all-downhill" marathon is particularly appealing. And I understand it can still be used to qualify for the Boston Marathon!!
