A "Marathon" Roadtrip

This weekend Wayne and I took off to Columbus, Ohio
for the Nationwide Columbus Marathon!
No, I don't run,
my husband, Wayne is the runner!
This was his 4th full marathon
and I've lost count of how many 1/2 marathons
he has run over the past few years!
Three other couples from our Community Class
 (think adult Sunday school) at church joined
us for the race!
Here is Wayne rounding the final corner to
the finish line!
(He is in white!)
We are so proud of him...
he beat his personal best
and finished the race in 3 hours and 57 minutes!
Actually, all four guys finished the race
under 4 hours, either beating personal best
or creating one for our first timer!
All their hard work and training paid off!
God provided wonderful weather for both
the runners and those of us who
came to cheer them on!
Congratulations Wayne!

My kids were both runners. My son was really good and did some interesting races. It is so pretty for running this time of year. I'm glad the guys did well!
