Here are some promised shots of the marathon...

They had a great expo that Claire and I hit up the day before the 1/2 marathon...we bought goo and power blocks and we picked up our Goofy Challenge gear...the power of positive thinking. We spent $100 on two sweatshirts that said we ran the races, so we better finish!

This is the morning of the 1/2 marathon (Saturday). Holy Crap was it cold!!!

There were plenty of photo ops during the race...the princess castle, and the mariachi band were my two favorites.


At the finish line, we were still smiling...13.1 miles? No problem...

Waking up on Sunday for the full marathon (another 3am adventure) made me question my sanity and Claire's ability to make wise decisions...after all, it was her idea to do this stupid thing...do I look happy? No. But Claire just played the cute card.




But we found our rhythm and discovered that we could still smile, whether it was mile 8 (where my foot pain made me limp the rest of the way), mile 15 (where my nipples had rubbed raw), mile 24 (where Claire's blisters became unbearably painful) or even mile 26.2 when we were exhausted and 1/2 dead...but we did it and we are proud of our accomplishment.
