Mini-marathon

Today was Chris' final race, the mini-marathon (13.1 miles). Braden and I went down to watch him finish. It was so hot just sitting and watching so I can't imagine actually moving in the heat. Chris did so well. He didn't quite make his goal time but he's had a sore hip for about 2 weeks now and hasn't been able to train. Regardless, he did well and we were very proud of him!! He finished in 2 hours and 10 minutes.

Braden's typical race activity...eating

Yeah! We saw him this time!! The green shirt is definitely helping.

After starting the race season with 5 buddies, it came down to just Chris and Russ in the final race. Everyone else was injured. :(

Braden even needed a little drink after the race.

Braden looks thrilled in this picture :)
