Congrats to the first timer

Please join me in congratulating Kristen, seen here at mile 22, who would go on to complete her first marathon with a time of 04:27:54. The addiction seems to have set in – a few hours after finishing she was indicating to us her desire to do it again and finish in under 4:00.

Congrats Ms K. I don’t understand what possesses someone to do the marathon but I admire the devotion to setting and preparing for a goal that it displays.
