We had to get up very early so we could get a group picture at 6:15 before the marathon!

Victory Celebration at the Sheraton Phoenix Ballroom...
We had dinner and then dancing. It was hard to believe that we could even move, I guess if we got up and danced we wouldn't be as sore the next day!

Downtown Phoenix, what a view!

look what I found?

We saw these cactus on our walk on the
last day that we were there.

Here I am with my medal! My time that I ran the 1/2 marathon
was 3 hours and 2 minutes! This was such a wonderful journey, crossing the
finish line was a amazing feeling! Tracy was at the end waiting for each one of
the Mitchell's Angels! Thanks again for your support, prayers, encouragement and
donations! I had a throw away camera at the end of my run and took picture and hope
to figure out how to put them on my blog.
