Marathon #3 of 4 is on the books and what a day it was!!! Beth's mom, Candi was our "pit crew" for this race and we cannot thank her enough for being there! it's a long day, for certain!!! Dan finished the Full 26.2 miles in a Personal Record time of 4 hours and 45 minutes. He averaged a 10.5 minute mile pace throughout the whole race! I was able to complete the half marathon and was happy to be able to do that!
About a month ago, I developed pain in my hip while running that stubbornly would not go away with rest! After a trip to the doctor and a few Physical Therapy session, it was pretty clear I would NOT be running the OC marathon. Disappointing does not come close to describing this setback. However, I was given the doctor's blessing to walk/jog the HALF marathon at OC. He warned that it would definitely HURT but I wouldn't do any real damage! YES! Something is always better than nothing! So, walk I did! I attempted to jog/shuffle a few times, but my body made it VERY clear that I would not finish if I didn't slow down and take it easy! What a humbling morning. As my body forced me to comply and would not allow me to do what I wanted, I realized that CF patients deal with this kind of disappointment EVERY DAY! What an appropriate lesson I learned that morning. It brought all of this fundraising and marathon madness into perspective! I'm on the mend now and hoping to be back training for Marathon #4 by June1!
To date, our marathon fundraising stands at $3,400! We thank you all for your support and encouragement on this endeavor!!! We appreciate you sharing our story and sharing your hard earned dollars with this cause that means so much to us!!
We are truly humbled by the show of support and words of praise you have showered upon our family as we continue on this journey. Thank you. God has laid this path before us and we always remember "do nothing from selfish ambition but in humility count others more significant than yourselves" Phil 2:3
We wish you a wonderful Mother's Day!
In gratutude,
Janna and Dan Crowther
