The Final Mile 2008

Another year, another marathon. OK, not for everyone but for Callie that IS the case. She finished her 4th marathon in a year through the "marathon club" program at her school. The kids run 25 miles at school (purely optional) and they finish the final 1.2 miles at the high school track with the other 2 elementary schools. The weather for tonight was not nice at all. When we first arrived I thought we might make it through unscathed. I was wrong. The wind was blowing ... HARD ... and then the rain joined in to make it even more interesting. Unfortunately I didn't get any great pictures (blurry & such) but I was really trying to protect my camera from the elements.

Good job, Callie! You are tough to do the run in that kind of weather, and also to complete the annual quota of 25 miles again!!!
