Jeff's First 1/2 Marathon

Last month, Jeff ran his first half marathon.  His friend Ryan had asked him months before if he would run it with him.  Jeff said yes, but they didn't actually obtain bib numbers until the day before the race.  Although Jeff has been running a lot, he wasn't really training for a half marathon, but he did great.

The morning was wet and rainy, but as the sun came up, the rain left and the sun broke through the clouds.  Jeff left early to go pick up Ryan and head to the start line.  I wasn't planning on going to the finish line, but at the last minute, the boys and I packed into the car and headed to the finish line.  It was a little tricky though, because there was no parking at the finish line.  All of the runners had been shuttled to the start line and would be shuttled back to their cars.  So I didn't know if we could make it there.  But we parked in the shuttle parking lot, found a shuttle and made it there in time to see him and Ryan cross the finish line.  It was great to see him accomplish this, and I was glad we were there to see it.

Just Finished!

Ryan, Jeff and the Boys
