Dustin's "Redemption Run" - Quarry Lakes Marathon

After Dustin's incomplete attempt at the Santa Barbara marathon, he was determined to finish a marathon (even if it nearly killed him).  Our sister-in-law, Liz, suggested he try to do another marathon close to the Santa Barbara one.  There would be no need to completely re-train, simply extend his training a few extra weeks.  Dustin's friend Mike said that he would fly in and run it with him for some extra support, so he went ahead and committed to another one.  It wasn't the best of weekends, as Sherie was out of town, Lyla had her big dance recital the same day AND he was pretty sick.  Still, he managed to power through and finish in 4 hours 20 minutes.  He did a great job, and I was really impressed he could run the race with very little fanfare and feeling not to awesome while he was doing it.
