Seattle Half Marathon

It was an early morning at our house. Today was the Seattle Marathon which Hubby has been in training for this 13.1 mile run.  He has been training really hard for this...ooober hard.  Makes me tired just hearing about how far he has been running!  So today was the day...which meant getting up by 4:00am to get ready to be on the 5:20am ferry in order to get into Seattle in time for a 7:30am start.  What was really impressive is that our teenage boys joined us and family drove 2 hours to be here in time for the start of the race.

(obviously early...still dark.  Our two boys and Hubby)
It ended up being a great weather day for the race...cold but no wind or rain which we were very happy for.
The start of the race was an amazing sea of people...never could see Hubby at the start.


We made posters to cheer him on...they said things like:

"Stretchy pants never looked so good"
"Rain or Shine you look real fine"
"Watch where you spit...there are people next to you!"
We rang cowbells and shook our pom poms too...It was a very fun event, especially with family and friends there to help cheer him on.  Here he is as he is approaching the finish line...he's so fast he's just a blur!



He had a goal of 1 hour and 50 minutes.  Look at what he ended up with!

( Way to go!!! Beating your goal!!!)

I was so proud of him I just kept kissing and kissing him.  My Hero!


Congratulation Sweetie...I couldn't be more proud of you!
