This past Saturday on 10/10/10, Jonah ran and finished his first marathon! It has been a long 16 weeks of training, but he did it without complaining. We got up early on Sunday and walked from our hotel to the start line. It was dark, raining like crazy and windy. 10,000 runners joined him running the 26.2 mile course around Portland. The rain didn't let up the whole time.
It was a very proud moment for me to watch him round the corner at the 26 mile mark. Having done my own marathon this past May, I know the cost: the work, the time and commitment. I was so glad for him to have the feeling of accomplishment and victory that I have.
Yay Jonah! 26.2 miles in 3 hours and 58 minutes!
