Wow!!! What a year 2008 has been so far.  My husband and I have a achieved a lifetime goal.  We ran the WDW 2008 Marathon on Sunday.  It was awesome!!!  We ran it with about 18,000 of our closest friends!!!  Our day started about 2:30 that morning, but it was worth it!  The medal is gorgeous and the lifetime of bragging rights is priceless!!  We are now in the elite group of Marathoners!!!!  I encourage all of you to make a marathon one of your goals and Disney World does an outstanding job of making it alot of fun....  I would recommend this one to anyone...  I got my picture taken with Mickey at mile 18.  Yeah I am excited!!! 

When the volunteer puts that medal around your neck at the end you can't help but get emotional...  That feeling is something I will never forget.  I attached a picture of Randy and me after we finished.  We were very tired but glad we finished....

Tim..  Thanks for all the support these last few months..

Congrats Melba to you and your Husband. You've done an amazing job. It was a little hot and just a tad humid that day. Wear that medal with Mickey pride. 

Hope your recovered and ready for another race very soon.
