Hey All,

I've been training for 18 weeks and yesterday I did the Portland Marathon! 4 hours 27 mins and 38 seconds! It was a fantastic experience and I'm already thinking about when I can do another one, after I recover for a few months.

Thanks a lot to Dan. Without his sling I could never have done it. And to Robin who inspired me to get running again. And everybody else I love reading you success stories!

All you triathlete people I'll be swimming and biking starting next week, maybe next season we can all find a race to do!

Cheers,
Joel

Good job--it's an amazing accomplishment!

Funny how something so exhausting can inspire you to do more

Congrats,

Heddi
