October 22, 2011 marked the 2nd Annual Marathon event in Mankato.
This year my sister's Wendy and Shelly took on the crazy mission of training for the 1/2 marathon. This is the first time they have both run a race of this distance. My brother-in-law also trained and ran the race. He is a seasoned runner and has done this before.
The rest of us took on the mission of being the spectators and cheerleaders along the trail.
So we all make our signs, bundle up, and head out to find them!
Our first stop seeing Uncle Ted. Gracie and Zach don't understand why he ran by us so fast and didn't even stop for a little bit to talk!
And there they go, Wendy and Shelly are in this group!
More cheerleaders: The Daly family.
Here is Ted again.
And even little Jared came out. He cooperated really good!
Here are the novice runners: Shelly and Wendy.
And here they go. They are about 1/2 way done.
The backside of them as they head for the finish line.
They were so determined they didn't even hear us yelling there names out!
And we have the finishers!!!!!
GOOD JOB ALL THREE OF YOU!!
SO PROUD OF YOU!
