I did it!

I will post more about the experience later, but I just wanted to say that I did it!  This was me yesterday - !  My cheeks hurt from smiling.  I think I was smiling the whole 26.2 miles.  Believe it or not it was easier than any half marathon I've done.  And yes, I think I will do it again next year.  I finished in 5:27:06 (which was a couple of minutes faster than Katie Holmes). Thanks for all the good wishes! Mary

Wow!! What a great time!! You should be very proud!! You now apart of the 1% of the world that have finished a marathon!!! Congrats!!

Way to go Mary.  What a great day for it.  Congrats.

Congratulations Mary! That's just awesome. Earl

That is incredible.  You have my admiration.  I look forward to the more about your experience later. I've been stuck at 10K and am hesitate to scared-to-death to try a 26 miler.

Great job, Mary.  I can't imagine moving for that many hours.  I always seem to have a pained look on my face when I run.  I can't believe that you found it easy.  I have the greatest admiration for you. Keep us in the loop. Rob

Wahoo!!  Good job, Mary!!    Can't wait to hear more about it! Becky

Great Job Mary! I read your time and before I read the next line you wrote I said to myself " That was faster than Katie Holmes." I guess great minds think alike!  You must feel amazing! Look forward to hearing more about it!  Liz

Congrats Mary! I was thinking of you on Sunday. Katie Holmes has nothing on you!
