I completed my first marathon walk on Sunday!!!

I walked the famous Boston Marathon course with 8,000 other participants to raise money for the Jimmy Fund, which is a cancer research/support charity. 

I'm very proud that I finished with a smile on my face, a few blisters on my feet and sense of accomplishment.  I'm hoping that someday I might run the route!!!

I walked with some local OH friends, and I'm super proud of them for daring to undertake this and for finishing despite being in a lot of muscle pain for the second half of the day. 

I'm feeling really positive about my Half Marathon coming up next month.

Thanks!  It was an amazing opportunity to walk a historic route with support and it was a great chance to learn to walk before I run a whole marathon.
