Colleens First Marathon Go Getta Girl

How proud was Colleen of Kirsten's effort and it was certainly an honor to run some of the race with her.

What an amazing day -it was Alexia's first half and what an event to chose -8000 in the half marathon - Alexia said an orange never tasted soooo good after the race!

Colleen and Letitia managed to see each other during the race - Go the American Go Getta Girl! It's always a buzz when you spot someone you know.

Colleen and Letitia's hubbies were both running in the full marathon. Len (Colleen's) did a 3:18 and finished 399th from over 4000 entries! How incredible is RT (Letita's) with the hours he works, finding the time to train for this marathon - well done guys.

Susan and Toni ran their first half as well - bravo to Susan who only weeks before the event had had a bad fall and hurt her ankle. Toni cracked under the two hours - Go Girl!

Oh and me, yes I did a PB - 1:55 for the half - I think my marathon training came to the fore - so now I am very excited at the prospect of the next six weeks of training leading into the Brisbane Marathon AUG 23 - when it will be Kerry and my turn to become Marathoners!

If you go to the Gold Coast Marathon website you can watch video footage on each individual's finish and see more details on our results.
