The Marathon

Here are a bunch of pictures I wanted to post that my sisters and Dad took of our fun family weekend. In December we decided that as sisters we would run in the Teton Dam Marathon. We wanted to do the relay, so all of us, including our sister-in-law agreed to come together this weekend to run 4 or 5 miles each. It was fun to have us all together, to run "together". I wasn't going to do it, since I'm having a baby in less than two months, but I figured I could walk 4 miles in an hour. Well, we exceeding our own expectations and everyone did their leg faster than they thought they would. We finished our "marathon" in about 4hrs 33 min. We are all a little competitive, and something about the "race" atmosphere pushed us all. I even ended up running about half of my leg---and I'm still feeling it. These pictures are in no particular order, I just wanted to get them posted.

The team and the cheerleaders

Our team: Megan, Crystal, Me, Robyn, Kelly, and Michelle

We all met Kelly at the end of the last leg to run the last little bit and cross the finish line together.

In all the pictures of Crystal she looks so happy :)

Part of the cheering section. You can see the poster that Elsa made for me. Lots of designs and letters.

I'm done! Michelle's off!

Robyn again!

This was us in the "team van" at 6:30 a.m. Robyn was the first leg, so she rode the bus at 5:30. Mom and Dad drove the team, and we had a great time cheering each other through the course. What a fun event!! We have high hopes for a run next year....
