Marathons

I thought I’d make an official place to keep all my running & marathon memories.  I have a few photos from previous marathons from before the blogging days.  I DESPISED running all through out high school & college.  For some silly reason, I took an Intro to 10K running class in 1999 followed by a Triathlon Training class.  I did a few triathlons in the summer of 2000 & started running longer distance races.  I’d wanted to do a marathon & decided I should start training before I got out of college.  I trained for my first marathon in the fall of 2002 with Austin Fit & finished my first marathon, the Austin Motorola Marathon in February of 2003 with my mom as my curb crew.  Moving home, I suckered my step mom into running with me & eventually talked her into her first marathon- Houston in 2004.  We’ve been running together & knocking back 26.2 miles like it was nothing every since then!
