Shea ran the Twin Cities Marathon on Sunday, October 3rd. Though it started out a little cool in the morning, it turned out to be a beautiful day for a race. Janny and Charlie made a last minute decision to come up for the race and arrived late Saturday night. Sunday morning we all bundled up and headed up to South Minneapolis to catch Shea and his buddy Scott run by at mile 9. After seeing them run by, we got in the car and drove to mile 14 to cheer them on again. We met up with friends Mike, Katie and Luke, as well as Mat and Moses, who walked up from their house at mile 14. The guys looked great as they passed by us! We met up with them again at mile 17.5. We were cutting it close as quickly parked and ran down to the race road. We waited maybe 2 minutes before they passed us again! Larkyn was such a trooper getting in and out of the car many times. She ate between mile 18 and the finish line. We made it to the finish line with about 10 minutes to spare. Larkyn and I squeezed our way through the crowd and got front row view of Daddy coming into the finish line. Shea did a great job! He finished in 4 hours and 3 minutes. Though he is done running for a little while, he is already talking about running Grandma's Marathon in Duluth, MN next June.
McKenna has the same hat and gloves! They are sooo cute! :)
