I ROCKED IT!!!!
Tall Mom Time: 3:37:07
Boston Qualifier BABY!!
Yes folks a Dream Come True..... The Full Race report to come tomorrow, but honestly it will lack my usual mind wandering focus. This Marathon I was a machine, fuel, drink, pace, fuel, drink, pace, fuel, drink, focus....did not leave much time to mentally prepare my race report..
For now I leave you with a few fun pics...
Little Stud #1wearing the Run Eugene 09 shirt I scored at the Nike Outlet for $2.50. I thought it would be good luck for him to wear it on race day. The Little Studs were with my in-laws at the Zoo and Beach while we were away...they had a blast!!
While pre-viewing the course we stopped to enjoy the lovely river. The weather was PERFECT! Eugene is truly beautiful.
We bought a Eugene Map and Muscle Man mapped out his spectating course. He was able to meet and cheer me on at miles 3, 6, 7, 9, 13, 17, 21 and Finish!! Gotta love the support from my awesome hubby!
And look at my Race bib.. People were cheering for "Tall Mom" the whole race, it was so fun!! One lady said "Big Mom" thanks lady and one said "Tom" hmmmm.... More about that tomorrow..- Thanks to EVERYONE for the well-wishes, emails and comments. I could not be more excited for this result. I BELIEVED and I did it!!
- How was your weekend?
