Finally, some pictures of the marathon! Sorry, some of them are not the best. And if you want the full recap of race day... read here.
Packet pick-up/Expo day. Bib #9874! woohoo! (everyone who was working at the Expo were Marines. It was so neat! They would walk past my dad and say "oo-rah sir!" I love it!!)
This is what 26.2 miles looks like on a wall. Yup, looks far even here.
Miles...the Marine Corps Marathon mascot.
How cute is he!?!? Dad was stationed at miles 17 and 19 (the Memorial Mall). Mom was at miles 10, 16 and 22. It was great! The first half (13.1 miles) I felt great...but I definitely needed the motivation from miles 16 on. It was so fun looking for the yellow signs and finding my parents. If you ever have anyone you know running a race, go out and support them! It does more than you could every imagine!
