Jeremy was suppose to run a half marathon earlier this week, however a really bad storm blew through and caused a lot of damage on the race route. They had to cancel the race.
So....later in the day, Jeremy checked out the rate and it was cleared up, so we made up our own race for him.
The kids counted down from 10 for his start.
We went back to the park where the girls worked on a trophy and a medal for him.
Then, we chased him around Port Royal and cheered him on along his route. This was around mile 4.
It was cold and windy...but we had fun!
Hannah was worried we looked like homeless people as we sat on the side of the road.
Of course, we swung by the beach at sunset time before he finished.
The girls held up a finish line tape for him. He did awesome! He came in first place, not just in his age category, but over all ;)
Truly, it was amazing to watch him work so hard. He finished 12.9 miles in 1:48:12. It takes a lot of grit and determination to run that far without a crowd. He did it! We had a blast chasing him around town and cheering him on.
