26.2 Miles...What An Accomplishment

26.2 miles in 4:59.......We are so proud of Dave for his completion of the Raleigh City of Oaks Full Marathon in November. He began training for the marathon in June and had never run before (aside from while playing sports). He was so dedicated to completing his goal that he would wake up and run 3-4 times a week (sometimes at 5 am). The first 13 miles of the marathon were pretty easy, but as Dave entered into Umstead Park where the course is rocky and hilly, he knew it was going to take alot of will to complete his dream. We were so proud to see him heading for the finish line and to complete the marathon in under 5 hours. What an accomplishment for a first time marathon runner!!! Dave - we are so very proud of you!!! http://www.cityofoaksmarathon.com/
