Quad City Marathon, Sept. 23, 2007
I did finish the marathon. Yesterday we had record heat with a high of 92. That made it challenging for everyone. While I cannot say I ran well, and I did not finish with a time that I am happy with, I did finish. That was my goal, to finish this marathon and dedicate it to my mother. That is what got me to the start (and finish) yesterday. I will run more marathons, with better times, in the future. Thank you for all of your positive comments to me along my way..

Rock on Irongrl! 92 degrees is brutal for a marathon. Be proud that you finished, it is quite an accomplishment.

I realized over the weekend that I forgot to check back with you. I was real busy, sorry!
Congrats on finishing. Great job!

Great job, it’s brutal to run in the heat. If you’re looking for a good spring marathon, the Vermont City marathon is Sunday of memorial day weekend
