It's over. Sniff sniff.

I apologize, it was a little harder than I had expected to blog from my phone, but here I am, at home, missing my girls but rested and proud of myself.

Once Skye gets our final results in we'll definitely post those. But a big, huge thank you to all who followed us through our journey via facebook. Also, to our friends and families who helped us get to this race and took care of our kids while we were away from home, thank you thank you thank you. But of course, there's so many other people to thank and when I'm thinking clear again (I'm still a little foggy), I'll make sure they get the props they deserve.

Along with the many thanks that need to go out, please stay tuned for our "awards ceremony" for our runners. We each brought a little something to make the race happen and it'll be not only hilarious, but interesting to see who gets what.

In the meantime, if you have any questions for us about our adventure, please feel free to comment and we'll get back asap! BUT, the one question I've gotten from quite a few people, which I'm shocked about it is "um, how and where did you go to the bathroom?". So, here's the answer...the girls and I made a vow to never speak of it again, but there are some really funny pictures that we plan to laugh about in 10 years.

Stay tuned...

Thursday Run

Certainly no expert; but most of them out there say that the best thing to do before a race is go for a short run the day before. Nothing too crazy 15-20 minutes tops with a couple of quick sprints. Opens your legs up (not that way) and leaves you feeling good for the race.

Also a beer or glass of wine are perfect for the pre-race night before jitters/excitement/can't sleep. However you want to put it, it helps bring it down a notch if you need it.

Can't wait!
