Marathon #20

My dad finished his 20th marathon this morning!


My dad inspired us to start running several years ago.

Even though we never actually ran "with" him (he's MUCH faster), my sister and I finished five marathons with my dad.

It's hard to believe that these pictures are from five years ago. 

Unfortunately, my running days are a distant memory, but I was still VERY EXCITED as I listened to my mom (over the phone) as she cheered for my dad during the race this morning. 

Way to go, Dad!

You are an inspiration to me, and I'm proud of your accomplishment!

He described his time as "rather pedestrian." I loved it!

My dad and sister, Hillary, ran the Grand Rapids marathon yesterday! Is that the one your dad ran?
