Wow...Kiawah was just amazing! A little over 8 months ago I started running and would have never thought that I would run 13.1 miles. I have learned so much about myself over the last 4 months as I have trained. I truly loved every minute of the run and I am sad it is over.
Sallie, Kim, Stacey and me before the race
The Starting line...almost 4,000 people. It took almost 5 minutes just to cross the starting line.
As I came across the finish line...
*Notice the big headphones...I was so worried that my Ipod would die that I brought 2 Ipods but NO ear buds, so Billy found those in his suitcase. They actually turned out great and keep my ears warm too. I needed the music to push me along.My parents came to celebrate with me
A well earned medal

We had a wonderful weekend in Charleston and AnnaKate had a great time with her grandparents and cousins. I am a little sore but already thinking about where I should run next! :)
Billy and I married in 1998 after dating for 6 years. In 2006 we adopted AnnaKate. We were lucky enough to meet her birth mother and take her home from the hospital. At about 4 months old, AnnaKate was diagnosed with Rubinstein-Taybi Syndrome. Through all of AnnaKate's struggles and delays she surprises and delights us daily! Thanks for marking this spot and coming back often to check in on us.
