Run CIM 2006
Yay. We did it! We finished the *FULL* Marathon.
Our results
5:42:51 for the timing chip time (from the time we actually crossed the start line)
5:45:03 for the start time (from the time when the horn blares the signal the start)
yes. We ran them dang 5 hours 42 minutes. That includes all our hobbling, potty stops, water stops, and stretching during the race.
I am pretty bummed for Whit though, cos' we realized that he lost his timing chip at mile 7. Oh no. But we still have a time for him, with my chip. So we finished together!!
It was all through God's grace that we were able to do it. Whit had a bad knee and strained ankles, while I had 2 bad ankles with knots in my left thigh. We both were not optimally prepared for the run due to school and lack of prep time. The longest we ever trained for this run was 14.3 miles.
Truly, when all is taken away, when you find that there is nothing else left for you, only Jesus can be there. Our prayers were answered one by one each time the pain flared up in our ankles/knees.
And He does give us rest. Try Him. He's the coolest thing that could ever happen to you!
