Marathon? What Marathon?

Hello to all five viewers of this blog! Bless all of your hearts, and thanks for stopping by! Sorry about being AWOL lately. I've been very busy with Bryson and visitors and taking naps......I think naps are a gift from God.

So, yesterday was the Big D Marathon. Amy and I were lacing up around 5:45am (on a Sunday morning, people) and sort of ready to go. This was our first attempt at anything this crazy, and I'm fairly certain that if you said the word 'marathon' to Amy right now, she would throw up on you. That's how much she loved it! Keep in mind we only did the half-marathon. So, at 7:30am we had 13.something miles ahead of us and we planned to tackle them one baby-step at a time, like champs. It was chilly outside, which was a huge blessing, no sunshine and lots of nice people cheering us on along the way. We walked our little booties off around the cutest neighborhoods, White Rock lake and charming little parks. We even ventured into the Projects a little. Good thing Amy brought her 9mm and I had my sling shot!! :) Don't worry, we didn't have to use them!

I have to say that I am enormously proud of Amy for doing this. She's always been our 'indoors' girl, so she literally went outside of her box to accomplish this task. She's a rock star in my book! Good job sis!

How did we do, you ask? Well, 3 hours and 50 minutes later we crossed the finish line and collected our medals. I was pretty sure we were going to get one of those flowery wreaths they give the winning horse at the Kentucky Derby, but whatever. Nathan, Bryson, Trey and Rob met us at the finish line with wheelchairs to take us to the hospital......or the car, same thing. Maybe they didn't have wheelchairs, I was in a delusional state by then. The next thing I remember is taking some ibuprofen and slipping off into a deep deep sleep.......and it was glorious!

If you feel the need to give us a standing ovation right there at your computer, go ahead - no one's looking!
