Many many months ago,December to be exact,
Carolyn sent an email to the fam inviting us all
to do a marathon with her in June.
A MARATHON. 26.2 MILES.
Kyle accepted the challenge and the training began.
June 2nd arrived.
They woke up early burly and found their corrals.
Those of us who kindly responded "no thanks" to Mom's email,
found a perfect spot to wait and watch.
The people watching was crazy! We loved it.
First up, Kyle came by!! He looked SO good.
(If I do say so myself)
G-unit was fighting a nap so he was still awake to see Daddy!
We think it lifted his spirits.
Captain of the team "Kiki Made Me Do It"
And she did. A whole gang of them. Pretty impressive.
I love that BFF KLC.
We continued to wait.
Vali came through next!
We saw these three coming from a ways away!
They seemed very joyful!
Grandma was excited to see us!
We were just as excited. As you can tell.
Then we saw Erin and Jill!!
26.2 miles, you guys!
Not 3. Not 8! Not 13! Not 20!!
26.2!!!
Everyone crossed the finish line!
So proud of you, Mom!!
Graham likes the taste of victory.
Graham's dad is a marathoner.
(and an exceptional one at that!)
They made a memory. A memory 6 months in the making.
Broken bones, long Saturdays, shot blocks,
mile mapping, enduring.
Marathoners.
No big deal. But it's an honor.
Picture 10 makes it look like dad ran too!
