Today I ran the Chicago Marathon and became a “Marathoner.” The day has been one giant blur of crazy emotions from fear, elation, pure joy and just a little disappointment. I laughed and cried and did something I once thought was impossible. It was worth every step… even the super painful ones near the end.
I am going to do some full recaps of the marathon this week, but just wanted to let everyone know I’m still alive and kickin! I’m a little sore and tired, but I think that’s to be expected. haha!
Here are a few picture highlights that I hope you enjoy in the meantime…
Thank you all for your support, I couldn’t have done it without such amazing people behind me!
AND! We still have more time to get more girls running. I’ve raised $613 for Girls on the Run of WNC. Every $125 I collect sponsors one girl to learn the joy of running. I’d love to get the number up to at least $750. Help me out, if you can! Any donation size that you can afford will help.

Way to go, Julie! Knew you could do it–you worked hard! Can’t wait to read the recaps.
