We have met the challenge! My mom and I completed our first marathon. We implemented our training program and finished exactly when we thought we would. We kept a 12 min pace for the majority of the race, slowed down considerably towards the end and finished in 5hrs 31 minutes.

We stayed together through the entire race. My mom helped me through all of my hard times, coaxing me on, yelling at me to keep going and I did the same for her. We are a great team. Big Sur is often refered to as the most "beautiful marathon in the world".  As to the beauty of the course keeping your mind off the pain, I believe this may be a gross overstatement .

Now the really good news! All the Wellness Communities around the country gathered together for this marathon. Together we raised $510,000. That is an awesome amount and it was thanks to the generousity and thoughfulness of supporters like all of you that made this happen.

At the highest point of the race, Hurricane Point, my mom said a prayer for everyone I know with cancer, or has lost a loved one to cancer or those who have passed before their time due to illness. It was our small way to give back to so many that have helped us.

God Bless All of You and Your Familes- Health and Happiness Always,
Love,
Jacqueline
