She ran....

her first marathon today...
three  years ago she ran a 3k and almost didn't finish, I thought that she was done with running, but no
she did another and then tried a 4k, next up was a 1/2 marathon 1st in Fargo, and then last fall in Mankato.
Soon after she declared she was running a full marathon, I thought she was nuts.
But she stuck with it, determined to do this, to challenge herself and to simply complete what
she started (I admire that about her)
This morning at 8:15 she started, this morning at 8:15 I tried not to worry, frequently checked her progress on my phone, cheered, worried and prayed
5 hours and 31 minutes after she started she crossed the finish line, doing exactly what she said she was going to do, she ran a marathon!
She is amazing!
