Marathon 2002

Home

 

The Riverton to Invercargill Marathon held on the 3rd November 2003.

I had been training for this for up to 4 months. Comments from people were mixed. Those who encouraged me, I thank you. Those who reckoned I would not be able to complete it, I also thank you, but with tongue in cheek. Your doubting made me try even harder.

While I did not have this site up and running to log my training, I do, however, have some photos I'd like to share with you all.

Here you can find the results...

FINISHED!!!

A relieved wife, Lisa, who was crying as I finished. Infact I was crying also, as was my sister and mother.

Crying

Taken off the track by my sister. Glad to be finished

Resting

Millie, my dog, watching over me as I rest at home after completing the MARATHON!!

Proad Dad

He was so proud of the fact I had ran a marathon, he bought me a trophy to remember it by.

Thanks dad.
