News from Martha (Shaw) Nall -- Chicago Marathon -- 4 hour 28 minutes

Received from my sister the day after the annual MARATHON -- she is an experienced and strong runner -- from her Camp Point, IL email


 It was one of the hardest things ive done in my life... really sore today,,,, tripped and fell along mile 19-20? Bloodied my elbow and hit my hip and have a bruise on my knee.  Jumped up and was more determined to finish @ that point...Heat was a factor unable to go any faster after a point in the 26.2 miles.. Martha


We checked the posted results and were proud at 1:30 p.m. Eastern to hear of her completion via Web results =

Congratulations! You must have managed through some trials and ordeal to do this well -- did the "pack" stay tough and in solidarity through the neighborhood and park course?
we are proud of you and your accomplishment! Love from Tim & Becky --
