26.2 Baby!

This Sunday we traveled over to Detroit to run the Detroit Marathon. It was a sunny, very cool day with a little too much wind. We had a great time. Jason, Susie, Doug and Brittany James, Ron Schuster, Arin Heinz, Lindsey Botke, Jared and I all ran the marathon. We had an amazing time. Most of us stayed at Jared's parent's house the night before along with many spectators. Susie, Doug, Brittany, Ron, Arin, and Lindsey ran their first marathons. Jason ran his third and Jared and I ran our sixth. Lindsey came in second place in her age group and qualified for the Boston; she ran really fast. Arin was one of only ten 16-year-olds who ran the marathon. Susie ran her first marathon, made a bunch of friends on the course and had an amazing run. It was a great weekend.

Lara-
I ran too! But my hamstring hurt around mile 12- so I quit. But I totally kicked ass the first 10 miles. I was running fast.

YYYEEEAAAHHHH! Way to run you guys.
Impressive. You look great in the photo. I wish I could see the running ones.
I looked you all up online asap after your race and have been blaming the stupid race people for not getting Missy's results. I tried all sorts of her name combos but nothing worked. I see what happened now. How are you doing now, Missy???
