The kids signed up for the Y marathon about six weeks ago. How it works is they walk or run 25 miles from then until now. As they made progress, they filled out cards with feet on them and got "toe tokens" to signify every five miles they walked or ran. It was a fun activity for both of them. Tonight was the culmination where they ran the last 1.2 miles to get to the 26.2 miles that signify a marathon completion. We gathered at Holy Trinity Church at 5:30pm, and the race began at 6:15pm. We ran from Phillips Road to Barrett Drive. The race is the beginning of the Webster Parade that kicks off the Firemen's Carnival, so the parade route was lined with spectators. Grace and I ran together, and Noah ran with his friend Garrett. Guess who crossed the finish line first? Let's just say - Girls Rule.
I'll post a picture if I can get my camera to work. Lou was our photographer, and it slipped out of his hands at the finish line and hit the pavement. So now it won't open or close. Ah well!

[UPDATE: We got the camera to work, but it's pretty much toast. Off to Rowe for me!]
