Marathon Day!

So the marathon. 

I'm having trouble loading pictures so those may have to wait. 

We woke up and ate one of the quietest  breakfasts ever. I'm sure it was due to the fact that we were all thinking about the feat that was looming in the near future. We got ready and stayed in the lobby until the marathon time was closer since it was so cold, then we headed for the start line. One of the most memorable things was as we headed for the start there was a line of men facing a fenced park off to the side of the road.  All of them with their pants down peeing. We saw many many moons that morning. The excitement was intense with all the 13,000 people ready to go. The announcer came on and said that we weren't here to start the race.... we were here to finish it... and then the gun sounded. Talk about nauseous! The race went well until about the half way point where I had a breakdown wanting to be done. Desi true to her promise stayed with me the entire time. She was amazing to do that, she would have finished literally hours before we did if it weren't for me. Fighting the mind game and exhaustion we finished. 

We did it! 

All my siblings, my husband, and my grandpa-in-law finished a full marathon in Dublin, Ireland. How awesome is that?
