Plane ticket to AZ $250
Registration for Marathon $100
Gear bought to insure on chaffing during Marathon then only to find out gear wasn't warm enough to run in record freezing temperatures at last minute only to have to drive around night before looking for warmer stuff: you don't want to know the cost and I don't
Shoes gone through to rid shin splints: 4
Finishing my first Marathon: Priceless (but not painless)
This was the hardest thing I have ever done in my entire life. Even harder then natural labor with Max. I am so excited that I did this though and can't wait to put myself through it all again. There are muscles in my lower body that I didn't know existed that are aching right now!
