Back in December, Amanda ran her first half marathon here in Macao. For months and months before the race, Amanda was a nervous wreck as she heard that if you didn't finish in 2.5 hours, they didn't let you back into the stadium to cross the finish line! Needless to say, her stress level was quite high leading up to the race, but she persevered and finished in 2 hours, 18 minutes! It was a great moment for Amanda and we were so proud of her!
It should also be noted that the day before the race we were all at Senado Square buying new shoes for Kylisha for track and Amanda spotted some shoes that had the word "marathon" written on them. Of course, she thought this was a sign and she bought them and ran the race in them the very next day!
One of her big toe nails finally fell off about 4 weeks later.
