marathon is history!

i did it! among thousands of runners and alongside a dear friend, honolulu marathon is history! it's a relief to say the least...felt emotional at the end (perhaps it's the sore ankle but i doubt it). since 1997, it has become a personal event for me. Knowing it would be my last this year, finishing felt incredible. doing 13 marathons is more than i had hoped for, it created in me discipline, endurance, and to suck it up when pain is there!
