Michael also did a great job in the full marathon, improving his time, once again, by 20 minutes from the last marathon he ran. I am so very proud of him. You can read a little more about his thoughts here. Just to give you a little more insight into my husband, Michael crossed the finish line looking deservedly tired and claiming this was his last marathon. Today, he using words like someday and maybe. Next week, he will start talking about when he will start his training for a marathon in the spring. Maybe he will snap out of it and be finished or maybe he will run 25 more. Either way, he has proven that he is not only an amazing athlete, but also a person of courage and determination.
If you have ever considered running a half marathon, this a great one to do. A great cause, a good (flat) course with a fun finish line. On the other hand, according to Michael, the second half of the marathon is a bit bleak with a few more hills at the very end than he expected. Still a great cause, but it takes a lot more heart to run when there is no one cheering.
Thank you Jason for the pictures.

Way to go guys! I just wanted to let you know that I had so much fun being a love lady in Andi's class last Friday. We had the best time! She is a spunky little one - showing all the boys in the class who the real boss is :) She reminds me so much of myself when I was a kid. I think we had a special little bond. She wanted to sit in my lap a lot and wanted me to play with all of her toys with her. She is such a doll! You guys are so blessed!
SO proud of you girls! I am running the next one w/ you!
Good for you. I run my first one in about a month--not as fast as you though:)
Congrats, y'all. That's so cool. Been thinking about you guys lately. Hope your family is doing well!
That's awesome! Great job!!
