Marathon

This may be a tad out of order, oh well.  This year Nathaniel and I decided to run a marathon. Things were going pretty well with training too. We had run 15 miles together and I was feeling pretty good.  Until my back had some problems.  So Nathaniel ran it without me.  The weather was horrible. rainy, haily and cold for the first 14 miles so all the runners were running on very soggy feet.  the next 8 miles was off and on rain and windy storminess  and only the last five or so miles was nice weather.  That being said, Nathaniel's goal was to survive.  That he did and we are pleased with his efforts to stick with it even when a nice warm car ride sounded much nicer.

 My sister Debra who also ran
 here he comes!
 happy fans (Adam has remnants of his first black eye he got from falling into the playground)
 around mile 19, he even has a smile on his face
this is after he wiped off the blood... see the blister on the side of his toe?
