Around DC in 26.2 Miles

We flew to Washington DC this weekend where Steve and all three of his brothers competed in the National Marathon on Saturday. 

It was a beautiful--but very chilly--Spring day in our nation's capital.

     

Our runners were all smiles at the halfway point...for the camera anyway.

Loved the top quote here: "In our minds, you're all Kenyans."

Here's my man on the home stretch of the race.  No more smiles.  Not even for the camera. I don't blame him a bit.   

He made it!  Clark and I are very proud of Steve for finishing his second marathon in just over 4½ hours. All the boys ran hard and finished strong. What an amazing accomplishment! 

Clark was a trooper as we waited and watched for hours in the cold.

Clark and I are so glad we got to go cheer on Steve and his brothers in the race, spend time with family, and enjoy a beautiful part of the country. I love DC in springtime, can you tell?

p.s. Don't think we didn't rent a Crown Victoria to drive all over town in style...because oh yes, we did.
