WE DID IT !!!!!!!!!!!

Jon and I ran the Richmond, Va marathon this weekend. We left on friday morning with Whitney, Tyler. It was a LONG car ride with the kids but we made it. When we arrived in Richmond we called a few hotels to try and find one closer to the finish line. we lucked out and got a hotel room that was 2 blocks away from the finish. We picked up our race packages and whit and ty stayed with the kids in the hotel so that jon and i could go carb up at the olive garden.

On saturday morning we got up and got ready for the race. Jon and I left around 7:30 and walked up to the starting line. Whit and Ty stayed in the hotel with the kids and brought them down to watch us at the finishline.


I started out feeling good and running at a good pace. After mile 13 I had some ups and downs but in the end we crossed the finishline together. It was so cool to be able to complete one of my goals in life with Jon. We finished the race in 4 hrs. 15 mins. 33 secs.

Whit and Ty brought the kids down to watch us cross the finish line. It was really awesome to have family come and support us. Thanks whit and ty for coming along and watching our kids.

Thanks mom, dad, whit, and ty for all the weekend baby sitting and late night babysitting so that we could do the race. Without all your help we could not have done it.
