Lindsay had her 1/2 marathon today and she did really well. She woke up at 400 am pumped up on adrenaline and showed up in Tempe at 600 am for the race that started at 8:30. She ate some pasta last night to load up on the carbs and a bagel and lots of water this morning. Her mom and Tyler and I waited at the end of the race where she had 1/2 mile left and cheered her on. She didn't even look tired and I hardly saw any sweat on her. We took some pictures and then she took off towards the finish line. She finish the race in 2 hours and 39 minutes and that was with a bathroom brake at mile 8. Pretty awesome for someone that had a baby just 7 months ago. Their were 40000 people running today so you can imagine with all of their fans what a zoo it was. There were some pretty outrageous people that ran including guys dressed up like the Braveheart warriors (in kilts), dudes dressed in capes, a lady who ran with her child on her back, an 80 year old man, and plenty of people with crazy hair. When we went home there were so many people it took us an hour and a half to get home which usually takes us 20 minutes.
We are proud of Lindsay because she raised $2200 for the Lymphoma and Leukemia association with this run with generous donation from her mom, my parents, the Buttars, and Jim and Patty Reardon. Although we missed church today I think it was for a pretty justified awesome cause.
