Adams, running in his first marathon, finished eighth overall in the 26 mile run, but first in the 25-29 age group with a time of 3:42.56.
In just it's second year, the Run For Life Marathon & Half Marathon attracted over 670 runners from 20 states across the country and 80 cities Mississippi.
According to Mark Simpson, director of Marathon Makeover, the race is the culmination of the Marathon Makeover 40-week Wellness Program that turns couch potatoes into marathoners.
Participants took part in a ten week program, outlining the ins and out of how to run a marathon.
Once teams were established, the athletes trained for another ten weeks in their local areas.

Dear Editor:
In the 6 April 2013 edition of The Yazoo Herald you published a letter from Cynthia Fuller, "Thanks to (Van) Foster for helping get bridge replaced."
After reading this lettter, I had the impression that the bridge was completed and traffic was moving along normally.
Wrong! Last Sunday I was on my way to homecoming at Providence Baptist Church. I turned north onto old 49 and saw the signs that the bridge was out. I assumed that they hadn't gotten around to removing the signs. I expected to cross Thompson Creek on the new bridge. When I approached the creek the road was barricaded and construction equipment was down in the creek.
Perhaps The Herald can keep us updated as to the progress being made on the new bridge.
