So, I have this friend Angi. In May of 2008 Angi said, “So I think I want to run a marathon.” She said this over lunch and Jenna and I agreed that sounded like a cool idea. As if she had said something like, I think I’ll get a hair cut. But she did it! I spent my Valentine’s day eve with Angi staying at the Holiday Lake 4H center and was there cheering her on with the best crew ever during the entire 7 hours and 29 minutes of the Holiday Lake 50K. We had some other friends running the race and it was an amazing thing to see them reach goals that seem beyond plausibility. Of course I brought my camera! Enjoy a few shots from the 32.3 mile race!
This is what 247 runners with headlamps look like at 6:30 am!
Angi running strong after the first four miles!
Sweet action shot of Jon!
Can you imagine when THIS sign is encouraging??
She did it and I am so proud!!
The crew: Levin & Justine, Me, Angi, Solomon, and Andrea
There’s a race in April called Promise Land…maybe we’ll see you there!
