I finished my 3rd marathon, the LiveSTRONG Austin Marathon Sunday morning and recorded my personal record! In 2008 I ran the Disney Marathon in 5:02:47, last year I ran the Austin Marathon in 4:45:28, and today I ran in 4:27:33!!! I feel so great about my improvement, and I can't wait for my next marathon!
Here I am before the race started. Thanks to Rebekah Davis for taking the photo. She's a beast, and I know when she is fully healthy, she'll dominate a full marathon soon!

I want to thank all of you for the support. As I ran across Austin Sunday, I saw so many great family friends cheering me on! When I was right by my apartment in Tarrytown, I saw these people!
That's my mom Janie, my brother Charlie, and great friends Hayley and Judy! My dad was in the street ready to hand me my water bottle and some more sports Jelly Beans. Oh and my nephew Parker is there too! Then when I went down the road, I saw so many of my students and their families! It was so awesome to have them cheering me on.
As I can up to the half way point, which is right by Casis Elementary, I saw so many supportive faces! Many of my students were standing outside with huge banners cheering me on. It made me so happy to have that support and made me realize, I can do this!
I also want to thank Sheri and Tarah for cheering me on all throughout the marathon. I saw them 3 different times, and I was so surprised and shocked every time I saw their smiling faces! It was also great seeing wonderful coworkers and friends Amy and Stacey, and their two kids Caleb and Payton. Great inspiration, and thanks to Caleb for some more sports beans! The sugar boost carried me to the end. Here are some photos of them from the road!

Every cheering, smiling face gave me strength and carried me to the finish line. Y'all are the best!
