Angela and Dwayne Morris participated in the Myrtle Beach  Half Marathon on February 18, 2012.
Angela decided Friday (the day before the run) that she was going to run the Half-Marathon (13.1 miles).
Keep in mind that 1) she had not ran more than 2 miles in her entire life and 2) she had not trained one bit.

The photo was taken at the half-way mark…
