On Saturday Chris ran his 3rd Kentucky Derby Festival mini-marathon. This is his last race of the season and I think he's kind of glad. :) This year he said he felt better than ever during this race and even got his best time of 2 hrs. and 3 minutes. The boys and I came down to watch and we lucked out on the rain big time... it quit raining right when we parked!! We've worked out a pretty good system now after 3 years of missed pictures, that Chris wears this bright green shirt and we position ourselves on his left side before the finish line. With 15,000 people it can be hard to spot people. Anyways, we saw him far away so we could cheer for him and he even ran over and gave us all a big sweaty kiss. Good job babe! We are so proud of you!!! Also congrats to all of our mini-marathoner friends! You guys are awesome. I got tired just standing there watching. Ha!
Here he comes after 13.1 miles!!
Waiting and watching for Chris...Ethan eventually dozed off and Braden was loving the helicopters up above.
After the race...big hugs for Daddy

good race, chris! i wish we had seen you!! we probably weren't too terribly far apart! it is fun to race, but it's kind of nice when it's over too!
great job!! i am glad they are all over too! i guess it's a mental thing because it's not like my running schedule is going to change much but it is still nice to know you are done!
