American In Sydney

Marathon Part 2

So the official results are in!

Jackson and I were the 343 and 344 people to cross the finish line in our Family Fun Run! We ran the race in 25:08 and I was the 134th female and Jackson was the 196 male in our class. This was out of 3379 people who ran - granted most were kids and babies in strollers, but a feat nonetheless. I It's really cool! There's this website that has pictures of you running near the finish line. Because Jackson and I were running together, here's a great picture of the two of us. It's quite obvious that Jackson was saying c'mon we're almost there, and I'm quite just looking forward to dying.

We walked away without any visible wounds, however, I'm having some problems with my foot. I've never had a foot injury before, but it feels like something's inflamed because it feels alright at the beginning of the day and the more pressure I put on it, the worse it gets. I'll let it go for a week or so and see how it goes.

So...it's September 22nd...I leave for the US in a couple of days and West Coast here I come! :) Then it's off to home sweet home...NY! I'm pretty excited with my bag mostly packed and ready to go. :)

I'll see you Americans soon!
