I say 5 hours and 3 minutes. And please come back alive and healthy for our Women's Retreat!!!

If you run a ten minute mile then that would be 4 hours 22 min. right? So lets just make it a nice 4 1/2 hours. Sick. How can you run for that long? We know you'll do great though! Good luck!

I say 5 hours and 12.5 min. Good luck! Anyone who can run more than 5 min is amazing in my book!

I say 4 hours and 44 minutes. Seriously, I have no idea how long it takes anyone to run a marathon- but that's my guess! I know you'll do it in great time and in great style. Just don't get hurt! I admire you for setting this goal and achieving it. I'm achieving my goals too....yea right! Thanks for changing your blog to accept "anonymous comments" just for me (or should I say thanks Becky!). Have fun (?) in Utah! Karen

You go girl! Any time finished (not in the back of an ambulance) is a awesome accomplishment!!! I'll wish you the best, with no help from the EMTs (oh, that would be if I ran)....4 hrs. 50 min.

Tara said...

I'll go with 5 hours even. I'm so dang impressed that you are running a marathon. I get winded running to the end of my street and I'm only 27!!

Amy said...

You are AMAZING! My goal is to do a half next year. Not sure if I would ever do a full marathon. You go Lori! I'm with Holly... 4 1/2 hours. Good luck!

Here's our guesses: Jordan is predicting you'll finish in an honorable 4:40. Alan thinks you'll come in a little faster at an impressive 4:26. I was going to predict a strong finish at 4:03BUT, knowing you like I do, if it looks like you have any chance of coming in under 4, you'll do it. So, my final answer is 3:39. Now run your socks off and make us proud! Love ya. I'll be running with you in spirit.

Jeni said...

WOW! A marathon! I would love to do that someday! I hear that training is LOTS of work! I am thrilled for you! When you recover, let us know how it went!

Derick and Becky said...

4 hours and 18 minutes. You can do it!! I am running a 5k next weekend and am nervous for that!!! Good luck!

Naoma said...

I know I'm getting this guess in late, since you already ran, but I don't see that you have your time posted yet. So I am going to guess that you did it in 5 hours and 45 minutes. Naoma
