Becky and her friend Kate ran in the Nike Women's Marathon this past weekend. They arrived back in Roanoke late last night. Both of them had been training and collecting money for months with Team in Training to support the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. Becky had hurt her foot about 6 weeks ago which limited her training nearing the marathon. However, with her foot better, she persevered. They decided to sign up for the early start knowing that Becky would not be able to run the complete marathon, and not wanting to be the last people in. Unfortunately, Becky reinjured her foot on the 9th mile and was just able to hobble to the half marathon mark (13 miles). Kate went on to complete the marathon and they met up afterwards. They really had fun in San Francisco, and hope to keep running in the future. Becky wants to thank all of the family members and friends who helped by donating money towards her goal.

Sorry I have not checked in before now! Congrats to Becky on her wonderful effort in the marathon! I could never do a marathon... I'm a pack mule, I only run when chased. Glad to hear things are well otherwise.
