My sister is a Chicago Marathon Finisher!

Here are some pics from yesterday's Chicago Marathon! My sister finished in 5:27:16. I am soooooo proud of her!

She's the one in the maroon - her 2 friends ran with her (blue shirt and pink tank waving at camera). They all did an awesome job!

All smiles at just before the half-way point!

High-fives at mile 17...it was HOT but she was still plugging along!

FINISHERS!!!!!!

We got to see them SIX times during the course! It was a lot of walking, but we had an awesome time and it was totally worth it!

Hope everyone else had a great LOOOONG weekend and did great in their races!

Chicago Marathon!

I am in Chicago for the weekend to watch my sister as she runs in her first marathon! I am so incredibly proud of her and can't wait to cheer her on! I flew out here this morning from Boston to surprise her!!!!!! Can't wait to see her face as I greet her at the gate :) It's going to be an awesome weekend with the marathon and all, but also....I'm solo for the weekend. It would have been just too much for all 3 of us to fly out here, so as much as I love my little guy, it will be a nice little get-away for Mommy :)

Good luck to everyone who has a race this weekend...can't wait to read all the race reports!
