Kelly’s Marathon Recap
January 12, 2010
Good Morning!
I have an early morning meeting and in my absence I thought you would enjoy taking a peak at my sister’s marathon experience.
(Warning: Have some tissues near by! This video may bring on some tears) 
Isn’t my sister amazing?!?! I am so proud of her!
Before I watched it I thought, oh I won’t cry, but I was definitely tearing up at the end!! Congratulations to both of you. It’s so inspiring!
“Crying is for half-marathoners”
Ha! Love it. Great re-cap! I miss reading Kelly’s blog!
hehe oops… i didn’t really mean to say that!
Thank you for posting this! I love how honest and forward Kelly is here. You all are a huge inspiration! Congrats again & again!!!
kelly!!!!!
You made me tear up!!! I was so sad when we all split up. I’m so proud of you for finishing and staying tough! You did amazing, be so proud!
Love you!!
Wow, I am so glad you filmed parts of your marathon experience. It was so great to see and very inspiring. Great job! Niki xx
Extremely inspiring and I did tear up! Congrats to you both.
aw congrats kelly! miss your blog!
Kelly, that was awesome! I loved following along. I totally teared up too. Way to go, girl!!
<3
what an awesome video! Congratulations kelly. i loved following along. You did awesome!
That’s great! Congratulations Kelly!
Congratulations to all!!! What an awesome accomplishment! Although… “Crying is for half-marathoners”???????? Ouch! Us half-marathoners are pretty tough, too!
That is awesome!!! You can definitely see how the miles can break you down after awhile and it becomes a mental challenge. How amazing to capture her first marathon all on video, I don’t think I could have done that…. I probably would have been swearing by the end.
Great job Kelly!
Congrats!! This is so inspirational
Cool video! I miss reading Kelly’s blog – is there a way to contact her to get access to it again? Last time I tried to look at it, it said it was protected. Thanks and hope your legs and back are feeling better!
yay – thanks for sharing, it’s nice to see some of Kelly again!
Wow that was amazing! I was really feeling her pain. I’m happy for you guys! Way to go!!!
YAY for Kelly! I miss Beneath It All, so this is great!! Again, congrats to you both!!!
SO amazing!!! Very inspirational!!
Thanks for sharing!
what a great video! congrats to both you and kelly!
Aw! I’m so proud! This totally made me cry! It is interesting watching her go from super chirpy albeit cold to completely worn down. Pretty much reaffirms that I never want to do a marathon!
Congrats Kelly!! You did awesome girl!!
OK, you were right. She totally made me cry.
You girls are awesome.
She is so great! I loved the “whoo” after every comment. Definitely very inspiring
Nothing like a good inspirational tear up video to get the day started. Way to go Kelly!!!
Awesome and inspiring!
Aww love the video
Great job Kelly!!
This makes me want to complete a marathon! Great job!
this was amazing to watch…thank you for sharing! she is amazing
I cried too! That was amazing. Way to go Kelly!
Good job Kell! YOU DID IT! Good job pushing through
Yay Kelly!
Yep, I teared up at the end too – way to go KELLY!! And I would be with you – once is enough!
Way to go Kelly!! You did awesome!!
Oh Kelly!! Amazing! Teared up at my desk at work… embarrassing… haha. What an accomplishment, you have so much to be proud of. Thanks for sharing that with all of us. Miss your blog!!
WTG Kelly!!!! You did a great job!
I started tearing up when the start of race fireworks went off at the start of the movie. Rock on Kelly – you did awesome!
Great job Kelly! Congrats on finishing!!!
Awesome job, Kelly!!! It’s so good to hear from you again. Congrats on your first marathon and thanks for sharing that video with us!
You did SO great Kelly!!! I LOVE the beginning “we’re fu- freaking scared!” haha. You’re AMAZING! Seriously! Such an inspiration!
Go Kelly! She had me tearing up!
Awesome video!!!
That was a wonderful recap of the race. I’m running my first 1/2 marathon on the Cape in February and it made me excited and also washed away my jitters! If you Florida girls can run a full in freezing weather I think I -a New England girl- will survive. Come run the Boston marathon! I live on the route and Marathon Monday is my favorite holiday.
Thank you for sharing that with us!! I love the “crying is for half marathoners” line. haha.
Yay! I miss reading your sister’s blog so much, so it’s great to get to see her experience here on your blog! Congrats to you both, amazing job!
loved this. beautiful job!!
I had to rush and get a tissue after reading this–what an achievement! You two rock, and there’s nothing like racing with your sister, it’s the best kind of support out there.
My youngest sister and I recently ran a race together (my third, her first) and held hands as we crossed the finish line; I still get weepy thinking about it…
I didn’t think I would tear up but wow that was emotional! Go Kelly, you rocked it!!! What a HUGE accomplishment!
So cool! Congrats to you both!!
Aww Kelly! Thanks for filming that! :] It was so empowering to see ya beat through the stuggles and beat that marathon!!
she will be so glad she has that recorded years later! i’m not sure if her video makes me want to run a marathon, but it was fun to watch!!
Oh my gosh, I teared up! I NEVER get that at films!! Your sister really is amazing, and an inspiration, and everything else! GO HER!!
Omg what an amazing video! I loved it, that is going to be SO COOL to look back on in 5, 10, 20 years! Way to go Kelly!!!
WOW is all I can say! So amazing, Kelly you ROCK.
I’ll be running a few 5k’s and possibly a 10k before running my first 1/2 marathon in Jamaica (well run/walk). I am so scared because I have never run before and I’ll be starting to really train soon. Your video surely inspired me. Thank you!
wow wow wow that was incredible! So inspiring! Kelly you did amazing!
Wow! Great video. Made me wish I had recorded my first (and only, so far) marathon.
Amazing job Kelly!!! You did it! It was so great to be able to watch that video and relive the race for 5 minutes, but I’m glad I don’t have to relive it for real!
Yes I did need kleenex, thanks! That was great Kelly! Felt like I was running right beside you….only a lot less painful
You did great! Congratulations! What an amazing achievement!
Congrats Kelly!
Kelly I miss your blog! You did so so amazingly well, and I loved the video. I want to move to Florida so I can run with you girls!
Loved the recap!
Congrats! That video is so motivating!
awww yay kelly! that was a tear jerker – so proud of both of you girls!

Way to go Kelly!!! So proud of you all for doing the run…just want to give you a hug
Yay girls! Great video Kelly:) So awesome on the PR Meghann!
That is an awesome recap! I felt the exact same way at the end of my first marathon. Accomplished, overwhelmed and oh.my.god.never.again. I just completed my second one year later and am now on the trek to find both a spring and a fall marathon this year. Congratulations on your first marathon Kelly!! YOU DID IT!!
That was so sweet!!!!! I loved it and definitely got a tear in my eye.
Fantastic video! =)
What a great video. Kelly, thanks for posting your journey. How do you still look so gorgeous after 26.2? That video made my eyes well up!
Kelly is so adorable! I love her sweet and positive attitude through the entire race. Congratulations Meghann and Kelly!
Kelly is awesome! Super funny too. I miss reading her blog!
Yaaaaaaaaaaay Kelly!!!!!! You did it!!!!!!!! How insanely awesome was that!?!?
Thanks for checking up and posting the video. It’s fantastic to see how well you’re doing!
