Justin finished his third and, according to him, final marathon yesterday!! (He wouldn't put that in writing, but when he was done he said he's never doing this again!!) Despite the frigid temperatures (high 30s - low 40s), taking eight weeks off of training due to his broken wrist, very little sleep the night before, and battling 33,000 other runners on the course, he finished!!! Claire, Grammy, Gramps, and I were there cheering him on. We couldn't be prouder of him. Yay, Justin!!
Mommy and Claire cheering for Justin
DONE!!
I think Justin's supporters deserve a pat on the back, too! It was COLD out and we walked miles and miles to spot him along the way. I feel like I ran a marathon yesterday!!!
Justin's friend Richard met up with us to cheer Justin on.
This girl did so well... she sat in this stroller for 5 hours in the cold temperatures and hardly made a peep!After the race, we went to my aunt and uncle's house to meet up with some of our extended family. Claire finally got to meet her great grandpa.
Four generations
Claire also got to meet her second cousin, Trevor. She LOVED him!! Trevor was so sweet and kept bringing Claire toys to play with and giving her hugs. It was precious!!
