My Marathon Running husband!

So this weekend Austin ran the Denver Marathon. He had sort of prepared for it. He would go out once a week or so and run a long distance. The furthest I think he ever went was 18 miles and as you probably know a marathon is 26! So him and his fire buddies get there it is FREEZING cold (it snowed in Castle Rock but only rained there) he had no poncho no long pants and no gloves. He ended up cramping up at mile 9 and ran 17.2 miles with BAD cramps! To technically "finish" the race you have to do it in 6 hours Austin finished in 5hr. 59 min. and 45 sec. That's right 15 sec to spare! He came home and sat it the tub with the jets on for 2 hrs. He even ate is dinner in there. The next morning he couldn't even get out of bed and had to call out sick. He barely got out of bed for two days. The back of his knees swelled up so bad. I asked him if he'd ever do that again he said, "maybe a half marathon," Oh, brother!
