She did it...
I am so proud of Krista! Today she finished her first Full Marathon 26.2 miles!
She has taken 3 weeks totally off of running due to an IT Band injury.
Today started out great at 7am! We started out running with another lady from momsinmotion! We stayed with her till about mile 6 then Krista's IT Band (knee) started tightening up and we had to slow down so Rebecca went on without us!
At mile 7 we ran into Kerri's house (another one of my moms who is a P.T.) and she massaged it for Krista and gave us more BioFreeze! We were there for about 15 min.!
After that it went down hill for her knee. She did pretty much the whole race with a straight leg! At mile 16 she pretty much wanted to be done! But she kept pushing through to the end!
She had great support during the whole course!:)
We crossed the finish line a little after 2pm (right when they were tearing down the race)!
I can't wait to get all the pictures from today! There are a lot on my phone (I was journaling the whole race by pictures- they are so awesome), some on Krista's phone, my mom did some video, and Emily has some pics! That blog is going to be awesome!
Krista's 4 months are up but she is still continuing on her weight loss and healthy lifestyle change! I am so proud of everything she has accomplished!
WAY TO GO KRISTA!!!
In Health,
Tonya
