Those who came before us

What's the buzz about marathoning? Will Ferrell has run one, Oprah, and even P. Diddy. Well, in April of this year Sarah and I are going to find out.

Here is a list of people close to us that have completed marathons. We like to call upon their names to inspire us to keep going...

• Monica Wohlberg (Kona, HI & Chicago, IL)
