Marathon Results

HE'S STILL ALIVE! After five hours, one minute, and a few seconds, dad finished the marathon with both legs attached. A few of us had a great time meeting him every few miles with fruit and encouragement. He says he had to run through some pain in his knee, but overall, it wasn't too bad. When the rest of us expected him to be out of commission for a while, he proved us wrong. His knee is a little sore, but he's been functioning just like normal ever since the end of the race. Here are some progressive pictures of Saturday's race.

Thank you so much, first of all, to my dad, who ran 26.2 miles so that families in Mexico could have mattresses. Thank you to all of you who came out to support him at the start, finish, and along the route in between. Thank you to all who donated and contributed to the almost $1,300 that was raised. My Aunt Jeanne was responsible for the awesome t-shirts that helped us keep track of them, and Mom and Zach stayed by my side all day as we tracked dad from start to finish. Thank you all for your help!
