Seattle marathon

Last Sunday Captain Brother ran the Seattle Marathon. He ran just short of his goal finishing at an official 4 hours and 49 seconds. It was snowing. And sleeting. And he did stop to pass kisses to his cheerleaders.

This is his cheering section. They met him at mile 8 and again at mile 21 pictured below...


Good thing they had both large and small flags to wave. After deciding the small flags were too small, they switched to the big ones. After bonking each other in the face a few times, they switched back to the small ones. Until they decided they were too small...

Here comes Captain Brother running up the steep hill...



After he passed, his little girl decided she was going to run too. She ran up to the top of the hill. Then she ran back down again. Then she ran to the car, ran past it and all the way to the end of the block. Then she ran back to the car, turned around and kept running. She ran nearly a mile and then she stopped. "I so tired!"

She was almost, but not quite as tired as her daddy when he finished the marathon.
