This is from my first marathon, the Bataan Memorial Death March Marathon in White Sands, NM on March 25th. It was beautiful - I finished all 26.2 miles in 4:54. My goal was to finish and have a great time, which I did! I will be doing it again next year. I trained by running trails which included some elevation gain. This race climbs about 1400 feet in elevation from miles 5 to 10 and also has a sand pit about a mile long around mile 20. Check it out and join me next year:

I'm proud of myself!
For all of the girls who were picked last in gym class, this 26.2 was for you!
