Chris' Marathon

(picture taken at mile 24!)

Today was another big one for our family. Chris ran his first marathon. It was insanely cold at 27 degrees, but we braved the cold - with as many clothing layers possible - and waited for him to pass us by on the 26.2 mile route through the Disney World Parks. We are so proud of him. The kids and I made signs to cheer him on. We talked about the hard work Daddy had put into accomplishing this goal. The children learned from their father what it takes to be a winner. Not to come in at first place, but to finish what you began.

Chris ran for more than 6 hours. Despite the freezing temps and hurt knees, he didn't give up. He crossed the finish line and we were there to see it. It was a special day for our family.
