Leslie, The Marathon Runner

Leslie, The Marathon Runner

Posted on 08. Mar, 2009 by Josh Agerton in The Fam, The Funnies

On coming off of Leslie’s marathon yesterday I’ve got two things to say:

  1. 26.2 miles is a loooooong way to run.
  2. My wife has got some serious guts.

I’m just so proud of Leslie and it was an amazing to watch her prepare over these last 6 months and then accomplish her goal. She ran strong until her IT band began to give her knee problems at around mile 21.  She had to walk/run the final 5 miles and take a break at mile 24 because the pain was making her so nauseous.  But somehow she pulled herself together and persevered to the end, finishing strong.  Her final time was 4 hours, 46 minutes, 06 seconds.

Did I mention how proud I am of her? An amazing daughter of the King, incredible wife, mother of 3, daughter, sister, and now a MARATHON RUNNER.  Leslie, you are a Champion!

    Anyone who finishes a marathon is to be congratulated — pain or no pain! I remember crying when Carlos Lopez won the gold metal in 1984 at the LA Summer Olympics.
    What an accomplishment for Leslie.
    Blessings,
    Dave
