Redemption
Today I FINISHED a marathon!
After my DNF 13 days ago, I wasn’t sure I’d ever be able to say that again.
Garmin says I did it in 4:15:07.
I didn’t run the race as well as I hoped because I was plagued by stomach issues yet again. Though right now, I don’t care so much. I did it and that's all that matters 
I’m so happy!
Full recap to come tomorrow. Right now, I need a nap!
Thank you all SO much for your words of encouragement. It means so much to me!
I'm Jen: runner, health writer, and new(ish) mom.

Congratulations! Your story almost brought tears to my eyes. You should take a nice long, well-deserved break and take tons of yoga classes. The bending and twisting is so good for stomach issues.
