I had the most incredible day watching Wyatt and RAD and Katie run the Outer Banks Marathon today. Terri & I ran it last year, but because of my injury (and cold) I wasn't able to run it this year. Terri was an awesome running buddy and dropped out to hang with me & keep my spirits up while I cheered on the lucky runners. We watched them take off at the start line, then went for donuts & hot cocoa before we met them just after mile 8. Then we chased them along the race route and waited for them when we could & screamed out the car window when we couldn't. We got stuck in traffic, and they actually finished the course before we did! I was disappointed that we missed their grand finish, but we saw them just after at the finish line. Wyatt did wonderful on her 1st marathon. We had a great week-end at the beach. Saw the sunset from the top of the Currituck Lighthouse- very memorable. I fell in love with little Fartlek "D." He really is a farter!! He's working on being a real "man." |
