This was a busy weekend. Friday night in Fargo was the 5k run, with close to 10,000 people, then saturday morning started out with a 10k at 7AM, a half marathon at 7:30, and a full marathon at 8:15. There was a good representation of Watertown up in Fargo this weekend. They even had a 4 person relay team to cover the marathon distance as well. There were around 5,000 people in the half marathon, and almost 2,000 in the marathon. Sarah did the half, and I did the marathon. It was 95 degrees the day before, and we were worried what saturday would bring. Saturday morning was 53 degrees!!!
Here Sarah and I are with our finishers medals. Wiped out! Sarah wanted to finish under 2 hours, and was just over 1:56 minutes. I wanted to finish in under 4 hours, and came in at 3:58:57. Talk about cutting it close. Those last 6 miles were tough…but there were tons of people cheering us on! Making plans again for next year, but hope to have my other marathon training partner back by then too. It was a good day for personal achievements. I will post some other pictures fromt his weekend as this week goes on. Keep moving everybody.
