Marathon Weekend

We had a full Fox Cities Marathon weekend again this Fall. Ellie and Emmit ran the kids run, and I ran both the 5K and Marathon Relay. We had events Friday, Saturday, and Sunday!

On Friday, we headed to the kids run with our neighbors. The kids had a great time running all together, even though it was cold and RAINY by the time they actually got to run. Unlike other runs we've done with them, parents weren't allowed on this one, so the kids went all on their own! After the race everyone came back to our house for pizza.

Emmit and Eli waiting patiently before the race (in the middle holding hands) =)


Ellie, Sydney, and Palmer waiting too. These 3 were holding hands almost the whole time too.


Here comes our whole crew!



Ellie and Emmit after the race - all wet!


Everyone together after the race: Emerson (6), Eli (3), Ellie (4 1/2), Emmit (3), Sydney (5 1/2), and Palmer (4)


The next morning the Moms got in on the action running the 5K. It was a beautiful morning for a run and a bloody mary afterward!


We wore our flowers in our hair =)


Aunties, Uncles, and cousins arrived later on Saturday since we were running on Sunday together. The kids loved this of course!

Crazy boys together


Ellie getting some lovin' too


The next morning we were up at 5:30 am to head to the Marathon start line. Ellie came along for the ride with us which she thought was so cool =) We ran a good time, taking 8th in the female division. After the relay, we headed to the Betkers for a post-marathon bbq. Perfect ending to a fun running weekend!

Our relay team - me, Sara, Shannon, Steph, and my friend Julia. And our cheerleader Ellie too! =)


And a big group shot with our male rival team! Matt, Mike, Tim, Kraig, and Brett ended up beating us but we met up at the finish line for a post-race shot!
