And here is my latest card! She liked Fabi's so we modeled accordingly.

San Antonio Rock and Roll Marathon!

So as you all know Mark and I trained for the San Antonio Rock and Roll Marathon!  It was fun and awesome however I got injured a week before the race and couldn't run it:( I've already done one, and Mark got injured for that one so I guess we were trading places:) You did great baby!  
Starting line!Lots of ppl waiting in line to start the marathon!Go check out Bethany's facebook to see how crazy dirty the streets were after the race started...people trash their sweaters and long pants after they start running because it gets hot!(no they are not naked...they have shorts underneath)  Anyways the streets are covered in clothing and cups...Bethany and I had a good long walk to the finish line with my hurt foot.  We were trying to flirt with the UPS drivers that shipped all the checked items for the runners, so we could get a ride, but it didn't work:)hehe:)j/k  But it really was for the better bc I ended up going shopping at the Streetshop used hand-me-down store on the way back.  I got a pair of adidas pants and two jacket tops...very nice!  Just so everyone knows...they toss the discarded clothing afterwards so no one was coming to claim them.  I love this pic!

Before the race!
My awesome sister-in-law and me!!  
Being Crazy to kick off the nerves!! Kennon...you were nervous!!hehe For great videos go to Mark's facebook account..it's funny!
Yay Libby!  This was Libby's first half marathon!  Poor Libby got blisters after the first three or so miles, but she was determined to finsh even if that meant walking...so she walked on painful blisters for a billion miles and still managed to finish in under 4 hours!(if I remember correctly) I'm soo glad that Libby and Andy do this kind of stuff with us, it makes it soo much more fun sharing these moments with people we love!  You guys are awesome!!
Andy crossing the finish line!  Go Andy! His time was 4 hours and 35 min.!! We're proud of you!

Those of you who have run a marathon know how unpleasantly awesome the last moments are!  As you can tell by his face, Mark is in a lot of pain...he was trying to scream out for joy, but it came out as a whippered whoo!!  Poor baby:)  But all the pain is worth it when you realize that you just accomplished what you've trained months and months for!  He did it in 4 hours and 25 min!!  Go Mark!!
Painfully tying his shoe
I'm So proud of him!
