Country Music Marathon

David and I went to Nashville for the Country Music Marathon during spring break! We had to watch the weather the whole time! There were tornado warnings all around us!

Shawn at mile 20!

Me at mile 20! I felt great! I was ready to run a 4:00 hour marathon!!!

Sadly, at mile 21 they made me head to the finish line because the weather was getting bad. I only got to complete 22.5 miles. I was really bums!

We even started the race 15 minutes early to try to beat the weather!
