Race Day

Matt completed his second marathon on Sunday. Ashley and Connor got bundled up to cheer him on as he ran all 26.2 miles of the Shamrock Marathon. After an injury and three weeks off from training, Matt still finished in an amazing 4 hours and 14 minutes. Connor was very proud of his dad, but he is not so sure that he'll follow in his dad's footsteps--that's an awful lot of work to run that far, when you could be pushed around in a comfy stroller!

Neither is please with Mommy at the moment.

The starting line--over 4,000 participants ran the race this year.

4 minutes to start time: mental preparation.

Connor got to wear the marathon medal.

26.2 miles later...much happier!
