Tiffany runs in the San Francisco Marathon

Tiffany set a goal sometime early this year that she wanted to complete a marathon. She started training and had problems with shin splints and had to cut back on her running. Not to mention the Arizona heat - she would have to get up at 4 am to do her running and even then would end up in 90 - 100 + tempretures at the end of her runs. I thought maybe she would have to just sit this marathon out but she insisted on going for it anyways. Despite the road blocks she kept going and here she is sprinting toward the finish line . . .
She completed the full marathon in 5 hrs and 10 min. and was so happy afterwards. She did great and we were all SO PROUD of her accomplishment and determination.

She is WINNER!!!!!
We were lucky that she chose San Francisco to run her first Marathon so we could share in the excitement with her both before and after. Congratulations Tiffany!!!! You're awesome!

Thanks, Mom! And thank you again for making the time to be there! I didn't just choose the SF marathon for it's beautiful sights, but because I wanted it to be close to home so my family could be there. And I am so glad you were all there to support me and cheer me on! :) Love you guys!

Congratulations to Tiffany! She looks absolutely beautiful-to think that she was one of my young women. It will be nice to share her success and example with the YW of Ft McMurray. love,Michelle
