CIM Sacramento Marathon

Yup, this is marathon #2 for me this year. 26.2 miles. Ed, the kids and I drove to Sacramento on Saturday and we all ran a race on Sunday. I ran the marathon. Ed and the kids ran the 2.62 mile MaraFUNrun. Since it was threatening rain, I purchased a disposable jacket at the expo and the kids colored it. I am wearing it in the picture below, just before getting on the bus at 5am to go to the starting line.

All the way to the start, it was raining. As soon as we got there an exited the bus, it stopped. Amazingly, it was dry the whole race. We were even able to walk back to the hotel before the skies opened up and it started to pour.

Below is a picture of Ed and the kids getting ready for their race.

And, their off...

Connor and Ryan loved running with the banana. Their goal was to beat the banana, gorilla and lion.

And they did. They finished the race before the banana, gorilla and lion and we were all winners.
