Marathon/Phx. Wrap Up

The day before the race we had to go downtown to pick up our packets which were full of fun info, race number, t-shirt and more. Then you have the option of seeing the fitness expo. It is a bunch of vendors selling the new models of energy bars, drinks, shoes, apparel, etc. I got some shorts there that had six different pockets for my GUs. This is a picture of just the back half. There were over 60,000 people running just the half. I think there were about 10,000 doing the full. The next picture is from the morning of. I was pretty nervous, sorry it is a little dark. My mom took it.



After the race we went over to the Library on Mill to watch the Cards beat the Eagles. I can't believe that they are really going to the Super Bowl. I haven't been following them since Jake Plummer left so now I wish that I had been but for what it is worth....Go Cards!
When my dad suggested running the Marathon, he said, "I just want to be able to say that I have ran a Marathon. We will run this and that is it." Well guess what: We are going to run the one in Seattle this summer. Well anyway after the game we headed to Pima. It was so nice to see my mom, grandma and the boys. Everyone is doing so well. Elliot is going to school at Central Arizona College where he is on the track team. Marcus is at EAC and Kevin is a freshy fresh at Pima. Grandma is doing really well she is staying there for about 6 weeks b/c it is so much warmer there than Indiana. It was a GREAT weekend! I look forward to many more.

So, you still haven't said how long you ran for. I'm really curious! I know it was hours, was it really hard, or not too bad since you'd been training for it? Courtney invited me to go to Denver and run a 10K with her. I think that's more in my range! I'm glad that you were able to come see your family, and that they're all doing good!

I went to a tasty place in Boulder last night with my friend from work and we had maitais. You would have liked it. She'd never had one before. Not surprisingly, I was telling her about your mother. It was fun.
