Photos...Finally!

It just dawned on me that people might want to see photos from the Marine Corps Marathon. Here are a few with captions beneath the images


Here I am at the start line. Sure, I look excited but inside I'm thinking "What did I get myself into?!?!"



Another start line photo


Finally we're off! I'm not sure I'm in this photo, but John did such a great job of making a terrific start line photo that I couldn't not post it!



This is about mile 14, in the National Mall. I'm rooting through the backpack John is wearing trying to find my extra energy gels.


Showing off my medal, alongside the World's Greatest Husband!


This is just after crossing the finish line. I'm not sure what that face I'm making is supposed to say. The foil like wrapping is Mylar. It's the greatest thing in the world when you're freezing cold after having run a marathon. It kept me amazingly toasty. :)


This is the finish line area still. I saw this mango and decided I wanted a picture with the maraca shaking mango!! :)


Here we are on the metro on our way back to Alexandria where we were staying with my friend Rosie. I sure don't look like I just ran a marathon, do I?


Finally, a photo with me and the hostess with the mostest, Rosie!
