Brian's Marathon

Andrew and I are so proud of Brian today. For the last couple of months, Brian and Craig have been training to run the Napa Valley Marathon. That is 26.2 miles! Today was the day and they both did great. To add to the stress of running 26.2 miles, it was raining the entire time. Laying in bed last night and listening to the rain come down made me wonder what Brian was going to say in the morning but when the alarm went off at 4:30am (no that is not a type-o!) we all got up and headed over to Napa. We saw the boys off and then met up with them again at mile 9 to cheer them on. Then Theresa and I had to wait until they got to the finish line so we decided to go to breakfast. We made it to the finish line and were there to great the guys and they came across. Great job guys!
Pasta dinner the night before the big run.

And they're off....26.2 miles to go.
