Marissa is so excited for today! She has been looking forward to running this race for over a year! She wanted to run it last year but we wouldn't allow her to (since she had experienced the stress reaction in her femur).

Marissa runs the mini-marathon
Saturday morning Marissa and Mark got up early. Mark made Marissa her protein rich breakfast before heading downtown to Louisville for the start of the Mini-Marathon.
Marissa is so excited for today! She has been looking forward to running this race for over a year! She wanted to run it last year but we wouldn't allow her to (since she had experienced the stress reaction in her femur).
It was a cloudy, chilly morning, but nice conditions for a race. The heavens started to sprinkle, but not pour. The race started at 8:00 am. It was pretty amazing ... Marissa had ran the Anthem 5K in 22:51 with a pace of 7:20 for 5th place, the Rodes 10K in 47:23 with a pace of 7:37 for 1st place, and the Papa Johns 10 miler in 1:19 with a pace of 7:58 for 2nd place, and now running the Mini-Marathon Marissa actually ran a faster 10K time today than she did the day she took 1st place. At the 10K marker Marissa's time was 46:33 with a pace of 7:29 (WOW). She finished the 13.1 mile race in 1:42.57 with a cumulative pace of 7:50 taking 8th place.
I'm so very proud of her!!!
