GAIL won the Tulsa Marathon!


GAIL ROCKS Here is the link to the Tulsa World article. Here is Gail's blog.

Gail is married to my uncle Joe, but he's younger than my husband and she's the same bracket as my sisters and me, so I don't really call her Aunt Gail. Anyway, I'm so proud of her -- and my Aunt Cinda said that Gail did all this a couple of days before a big statistics exam. Hope the test is as quickly and successfully behind you as the race, Gail!

Apparently she's getting her masters while training for marathons, teaching high school math and raising two amazing children. Wow.
p.s. I love the contracted quads in this picture. What a beautiful, powerful image of a woman.

Have you ever tried to run a 9 minute mile? It is more than most people can do.
Gail ran for 3 hours doing 7 minutes per mile. Un be bloody believable.
