My Marathon Man!

Yesterday Jon completed his first marathon! He took part in running the Marine Corps Marathon which took him through parts of Va. and DC. This was a personal goal for him that he set back in the Spring and I was so proud to see him complete the race and accomplish this goal! He did so well.....I was worried about him just because you hear stories of perfectly healthy people having trouble finishing the race and having complications. So to say the least, I was beaming with pride and felt of sense of relief when I knew he had crossed the finish line!


Here are some pics from the day. It was a long day and Camden was such a trooper. I could never have done it without the help of my mom. It was way more complicated and difficult to get around than I thought it would be. But it was all worth it to be there to support Jon in this endeavor.









Such a boy! As soon as he saw this pile of leaves in front of the metro he had to go and jump in them!
His first metro ride.....I got him out of the stroller once we got moving and he couldn't stop jumping and dancing around he was so excited!

Waiting to cheer on daddy at mile 16. It was a little chilly in the shade but we made it and were able to hold up our signs, ring our bells and shout really loud for daddy. I even jumped in and ran with him for a few minutes while he ate the lunch meat and banana that I had for him!

AND.....he is done! Camden has Jon's medal on around his neck!

Such a proud wife!

Good job babe!

Good job honey! Words cannot communicate how proud of you I am! I am so thankful that you had the endurance, strength and ability to be able to complete this course!
