About 30 minutes before the race. I have no clue why we are blue...
Our buddies before the race. Juston and Rebekah, on the far right, trained with Steven and Keri on quite a few of the long runs.
A shot of a portion of the crowd before the race. There were over 9,000 participants!
This is at mile 6... I was still feeling really strong at this point.
There goes my Mom to the finish. Yep, she is fast. Yep, she beat me. She has ran close to 20 marathons and will compete in her first IronMan Triathlon in August.
Coming down the homestrech.
Really gutting it out... aka, really bad picture!
The marathon winner...I'm sure we weren't too far behind!!
There goes Keri down the homestrech. She was really sick. 100.3 temp, dehydrated and still ran! She was a real trooper. It was disappointing for her because she trained so hard and wasn't able to run her best because of her illness. Guess well have to try again!
After the race at Chili's. I was HUNGRY. Keri was not.
It was so fun to train together. We really enjoyed the entire experience and look forward to doing it again!
Thanks to Gary and Cindy for the pictures!
