The aftermath

Since Sunday my mom and I have both experienced soreness beyond belief. Walking. Ouch. Stairs. Ouchier. Neither one of us have attempted to run since (although I am going to do it tomorrow). So far I've gained 3 lbs and my mom gained one heck of a painful blood blister under her big toe. Here she is trying to drain it while Brady and Jayda get in the way er I mean observe.
Poor mom - she ended up having to go into the doctor and they drilled a hole in her nail to drain it. Nice huh? The joys of running a marathon...

And here are some of the photos from the finish line. Kind of cool that they take pics of people.

Josh is finally walking normal too! I loved watching him on the stairs. Hilarious. Oh, you should have seen his wet and wrinkley feet after the race. They looked like old man feet...it was disgusting.

Your poor mom!
