Kim's first marathon

Kim ran the Silverton Alpine Marathon today. 26 miles of jeep trail and dirt road, low point 9400 feet, high point 12,950 feet, 3900' climb. Bad weather, with driving rain and hail, sleet, and thunderstorms. She finished in 6:37, near the back but in fine form among 40 or so veteran mountain ultrarunners. Ian spent the whole time at the finish line ringing a cowbell for everyone coming in; very cute. Particularly impressive is that she felt pretty good afterward.
