One super happy boy!
After 4 and a half hours of running, I was actually crying at this point, but I put on a good face for Ryan at the finish line. I didn't hit a wall til mile 25, pretty good considering I usually hit one at miles 18-22. It got so hot 84 degrees people in the neighborhoods were spraying us with their garden hoses.
Our friend who came to see us Linda and Greg from MI and Pam and Jeff from Springfield.
Shanker and Pam the two best friends a girl could ask for.
We went to the American Girl store and got Kit for Sofie. She is mesmerized by this doll, I think she is also a little afraid of it cause the eyes open and close.
This is a kitten that was on our back deck two weeks ago. Something got to him he only has half a tail, he had a
pneumothorax, which resolved on its own. He was a bag of bones, so after a trip to the vet for some diarrhea and antibiotics, he is thriving. But we don't need another cat, does anyone want him?
Morning of the race, Ryan was a peach and went down stairs and got me a coffee from
starbucks. Can't run without coffee. Or do anything for that matter.
Getting ready!
Coffee and getting ready to start, so many people. A fun race.
The sun coming up over the lake.
Everyone waiting to start, it was this crowded the entire time. People of all shapes sizes and ages were running. This sport knows no limits when it comes to shapes ages and sizes. It is very personal and the entire team you worry about is yourself. It is nice to only compete with myself in my own mind. Crazy what you can push your body to do.
