ING Marathon, Sarah's First Full (yes, 26.2miles)






Today Sarah started on a journey that ended 26.2 miles later. Sarah ran her first full marathon at the ING marathon in Atlanta. SHE ROCKED IT!! 16,000 runners and only 4,000 ran the full marathon. Sarah placed better than half of all the runners.

Sarah started training for this back in November after coming home one night and saying "I want to run a marathon"

The group she trained with is Team in Training with the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. Check out their website http://www.teamintraining.org/ what an awesome cause and what an awesome group. As her husband I want to say thank you to all the Coaches and Mentors for all the work and training that you do. YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME !!! I have never seen my wife so excited and motivated.

For all of our friends, family, and businesses that supported us in the fund raising THANK YOU!!!! You truly made a difference and hopefully one day we will find a cure to such a nasty disease.

Thank you all so much for your prayers and support..
