My wife Amy just completed the Country Music Half Marathon in Nashville. Six months ago she was watching PBS and saw a NOVA special about a group of non-athletes who trained for the Boston Marathon. She was so inspired by this that she decided she wanted to run a marathon.
Amy started a training program and here we are less than six months later in Nashville. She finished in 3 hours, 12 minutes. This was 20 seconds per mile under her training pace!
Here's a video of her crossing the finish line. Needless to say I was in tears.
She's got another half marathon planned in a few months in Colorado Springs and she's already registered for the full marathon at the Rock and Roll Marathon in San Antonio in November.
I'm proud of you Amy!
