My marathon in pictures

You've read my race recap from the Eugene Marathon... now see all the pics, thanks to family and friends who came to cheer me on :)

After the expo, checking out the finish line at Historic Hayward Field:

5:30 a.m. - ready to head over and look for parking:

OK - I guess this is it. Almost time to ditch the throwaway sweatshirt:

Here comes my wave:

Brad was looking for the red sweatshirt and almost missed me. I love the lady in pink :)

Eryn was out there, too - running the half:

Brad and Mom and Dad were at Mile 6ish:

Just after the Mile 7.5 aid station:

The 19th Street hill:

Lots of security around, including the bomb squad, ready to detonate anything suspicious. Had the race been three weeks sooner, that wouldn't be there:

Dying at Mile 16. The guy in the blue shirt/black pants is Allen, my leapfrog buddy:

While I was dying, Eryn was finishing:

Jenn and Sue were at Mile 21:

The fam was waiting at Mile 24ish. I love this picture of Eryn watching for me:

Here I come:

WOOHOO!

New sticker for my collection:
