Marathon Madness!!!!

Am I crazy and insane? Yes, but I am still alive (barely). So I usually don't blog
about myself but I think I deserve it after yesterday! I ran my second marathon up
in Logan and lets just say this one was alot harder than the first time. I can barely walk
and my legs feel like they are dead! To make a long story short, many of you know I have been
training since last Nov. for what was suppossed to be 6 marathons starting last april. But due to
my health problems that didn't happen. So poor gregory (father-in-law, and trainer) ran
the first few on his own, and happened to get a knee injury. But after both our problems we decided to suck it up and run the logan marathon. We definately hadn't trained up to our potential and weren't exactly ready, and all I will say is if you aren't ready don't do it, unless you
love to feel great pain. By mile 15 I thought my legs were going to die, and by mile 23 I thought I was going to die. Nevertheless I made it and thank you greg for making me do it. Hopefully soon I will walk normal again!

Jen, Is there anything you can't do? I don't think so! Great job on the marathon. I guess that is why you can eat chocolate cake and still look good!

Good freakin job! I can't believe that you are a marathoner... I hate running. Good for you though! And if I can get you anything while you're not able to walk, just let me know!

Way to go Jen.....even though it didn't sound like the funnest run, I am jealous of just being able to run, so maybe next summer we can do some easy 5k or 10k together!!!!
