Beautiful Day for a Marathon

We couldn't have asked for a better day for the Columbus Marathon. It was sunny and between 50 and 60 degrees the entire morning. Mike was able to jog the entire race (26 miles) and did so with a smile! We saw him run by at the 14 mile mark and he gave Ben a high five. Although Ben didn't enjoy being in the car for 90 minutes (we found out that one hour is the amount of time he will patiently sit in his car seat), he really got a kick out of the runners once we got there. The first few minutes we were there, Ben was cracking up at the people jogging by. Even when Ben was done laughing, he couldn't take his eyes off of the runners. He loved it! I was glad we were able to be a part of this event.


Ben's front row seat in his car watching the runners go past. We also brought his stroller along to hold his equipment and just in case he didn't want to sit in his car any longer.

So glad Daddy was able to finish the race....tell him his Mom is proud of him. Ben looks so adorable sitting there watching for his Dad. I was glad you all had great weather and were able to be there and see him jog by.

Love you all,
Gramma Mo
