Keri, that is great...congratulations. I know it takes a huge commitment of training several months leading up to the event to be able to complete it like you did. Great job.

I've just started training for another half marathon (about 3 months away) and still can't imagine going twice that far. You definitely are an inspiration to me. If I can get the next half marathon done in good shape, I think I'll try my first full marathon in about a year.   

Again, nice going.

Oh, Keri ...... what an accomplishment, and with a sore knee no less!

I cannot imagine running anywhere, let alone 25 miles!  You truly are an inspiration.

Thanks for sharing this joy with us.  And, please come back and post as you can so we know you are OK.
