Maratona di Roma

We made it! Wayne and I crossed the finish line approximately 35 minutes faster than our finish in San Diego last June. We were hurting. Between a faster pace and a few sections of cobblestones, those 42 kilometers were rough on our bodies.

It was an incredible course, winding through Rome's beautiful streets passing just about every tourist site possible. Among the 16,000 participants, we met someone from Nebraska, someone who was born in Escondido, and saw countless runners and fans from all over the world.

Paul, Helen, Megan, Riley, our fabulous landlord and tour guide Pina and her husband Leonardo were there at the finish to meet us.

Then food, shower, nap. Ahhh...
