So when I said I was going to run a marathon in each of the seven continents I was crazy. And when I thought since I was here in Africa already I could go ahead and get it over with by running the Accra Marathon this past September I was even crazier. Then came the race....and man..that was the craziest thing ever...don't worry. I am writing a full dissertation on the experience. Hold on to your seat.
However... I did place as the 10th female in the full marathon and won a cash prize! ...that's right...you'd have to pay me to run that!
