Well, I finally accomplished my goal of running a marathon (that's 26.2 miles for those who don't know). Rachel Yeates, Kendra Huffman, and I ran the whole St. George Marathon together. I gave it my all and surprisingly felt pretty great at the end. Our chip time was 4 hours and 17 mins. The weather was horrible. It was raining and windy and freezing the whole way. We were so cold that even our butt cheeks were numb. BUT, even through it all we finished it and even beat our goal time of 4:30. Thank you for all those who supported us. A BIG thanks to Steve and Pier for driving us to the starting line, letting Kendra and I crash at your home, and for all your hospitality. Most of all Thank you to my hubby who stayed home with the girls this weekend and numerous days, so I could train and run this marathon ( I love you Mase).

Congrats Erika, you looked totally fresh on the finish line, like when you posed between those 2 guys (1 with the bloody nipple) and it seemed like you were gtg again. . . was a great weekend with you and Kendra!
