Yesterday we completed another marathon - my 3rd. It was a very wet day although the rain was actually quite nice - cool and refreshing for the 6hrs 55mins we were on the route. One of the highlights was when we crossed the finishing line (of course crossing the finish line is always a highlight!) and were greeted by Margo & Ed who presented us with 3 beautiful roses. Sara and Gary were also cheering us across the line. Both these couples had participated in events earlier in the day and waited especially for us to finish - absolutely amazing as the day was dreary and wet and they could have left and been home in front of the heater - so we really appreciated them hanging around for us. Our friend Hugh was on the microphone announcing the finishers and as we approached he joked with everyone that we had flown in from Australia especially for the event! It was so nice to hear his voice as we approached that last 100 yards just knowing that we were nearly there. Sara, Gary, Ed, Margo & Hugh are all members of Houston Fit and have definitely become part of our 'Houston family". Of course I am most grateful to my own special personal coach - once again John walked with me for support and encouraged me all the way - he's so 'orsom'!
