Run Chris Run....

Well about five months of intense training and 26 miles later Chris finished his first marathon in Chicago!! Way to Go!!! We are all proud of him and he did amazing despite a bad case of tendanidus in both of his knees and a freezing cold October morn. He finished in 4 hours 31 minutes, which is great (even though Oprah beat him by 10 minutes or so :) ) Chris really did a great job of setting a goal and accomplishing it he stuck to his training schedule despite our hectic summer (ie leaving to go run while we were in the hospital for the birth of our son!) and it seemed to pay off. He ran the race with one of our neighbors and his good friend Whit from college. As much as his I-pod served as a motivation and distraction so did these two people! The wives and husbands also were downtown cheering them on - we got to see them at several different mile markers and yes I would like to say that is a sassy new bag I am wearing but nope its a sweet breast pump that I was fortunate enough to lug around the city of Chicago for the day! (Brady I hope you appreciate your mutha!) - It was a fun event for all and we couldn't be more proud of his accomplishment! Chris is slowly recovering - to say the least he was a little bit sore :) But nothing a lil R&R won't take care of over time. So we will see if he gets the itch next year for New York!! Congrats Hubbie!
