of all weekends, THIS weekend happened to be what we have declared "the great chicago flood of 2008".
it rained from the moment we got into town friday - until the moment we left today (and i'm sure it is still raining now).
in fact ... it didn't just rain it POURED.
i'm sure each of them would say that they are glad they made it through 3/4 of the race before the cold front and horizontal rain set in.
AND ... bekah (my sister) and i would say the same thing ;)
although at points each of us wished we were running ...
we were the official supporters ;)
AND ...
supporting a race in this weather is not easy.
at one point we were running through a wet, muddy field to meet up with the runners ...
our shoes were sticking to the mud so we took them off and went barefoot.
it was then that we looked down and realized that we were running on a field of worms.
YUCK!
i think i decided i would have rather been running 13 miles :)
way to go guys!
you all did excellent!!
i am proud of you ...
AND ...
practice up because next year ...
i expect YOU to be like the guy who juggled the entire 13.1!

Yay! Great job, Sarah and Stacey! I'm glad you went and had a weekend away with friends and family. How awesome that Stacey finished with a good time too! I don't think I could have done that well in the rain. Although it would be better than running when it's really hot. Anyway, next year Sarah, you'll get your own finisher medal! :)
ahhh the memories we'll have of this past weekend!!!
