Marathon Update


Mitchell's version of the Marathon:

I finished. It was not pretty but I did cross the line.

Tina, Austin, Collin & Hope's version of the Marathon (otherwise known as the right version):

Considering the week leading up to the Marathon he did AWESOME! We are so proud of him. We cheered him on as he got stuck about a hundred yards back with leg cramps. As he started his approach to the finish line the crowd in an uproar cheered him on. We were so proud of him when he crossed that line no matter how ugly it was. We didn't think it was ugly at all. Believe me if you saw some of the way these people crossed the line you would agree (ex. getting carried off on stretchers, barfing ..... you get the hint).

Anyway, if you haven't gotten the hint we are very proud of him. He says never again but I'll let you know in about a month :-) By the way, he ran 26.2 miles in 4 hours 1 minute and 19 seconds.

Here are some pictures from the day.

Congratulations, Mitchell! I can't imagine how exciting it must be to finish the marathon.
