well, after 3 months of training we finally crossed the finish line. it was such a great success to be able to finish and do so with my wife and friend. we had a great day to race, it was cool and there were some rain drops, but that was perfect. we ran across the start line at about 7:10am and finished the race 2:16 later. it was fun to run with so many people everywhere. you always felt like you were passing people, but at the same time you were being passed. it was weird. the highlight of the race was having the winner of the marathon run by us at mile 11. he was on mile 24 and would have started just a few minutes before us. it was such a cool feeling to see that guy run so fast after going so far.
it is definitely something we will do again. we have registered for next year and will know what to expect from the whole experience. we had a greater purpose in running the race and that was to raise money for world vision and what they are doing to take care of the needy in the world. with your support we were able to raise close to $600. that was all part of the close to $17,000 raised by our church youth group. it was amazing.
we had some friends, kaylee and elise, run around atlanta on that morning and have a blast trying to capture the whole experience. i hope you enjoy watching it.
