CONGRATS TAMMY! She perservered and rose up after an injury!! A stepping stone on her way to nailing that time she wants! TAMMY- Well I did not get the time I wanted. In fact this was my slowest marathon to date. I can give a hundred excuses: hamstring prevented speecwork & hill training, got super dizzy a few times & felt like I was going to.passout. So decided im taking it easy & so be it. I finished. Now to rest & heal up. Weather got a little warm. I did just read a young lady collapsed in the half 100ft before the finish line. I.pray she is ok
Thank you to everyone who supported me: My kids. Michele Yates my coach. My hubby Steve Bucko for traveling along & being my support group & Norman Williams for checking on me. My mom Marlena Austin
& everyone else! Finish time was 6:07
Like i said slowest to date. Always grateful I can run♡♡♡ This race is dedicated to the memory of my baby sister Megan Austin * my dad William Austin Bill♡
