Our first marathon

Celebrating the finish!  12 weeks pregnant(?)

On Sunday, Big T and J finished their first marathon.  We've been training with San Jose Fit... making it to most of the Saturday long runs, which first started with a short 3 miler then elapsed to a 21 miler... To be quite honest, neither of us thought that the actual marathon would be as difficult, especially after the training.  We were both humbled by this experience -- J is ready to sign up for her next marathon.

Note to ourselves, for the next marathon (especially if it's in the hot dry heat) -- bring salt caps.  OMG, both of us were dehydrated.  Big T finished in 4 hours and 57 seconds (goal met)... whereas J took 2 hours longer!!!  By mile 19 or 20, J's legs were seriously cramping (especially the left side)... and had to walk the rest and finished in 6 hours 9 minutes and 38 seconds.
