Chicago Marathon a Success for Jake

Hayden and I are SO incredibily proud of Jake! He has been so dedicated with his training this past year, his hard work has been very impressive!! Then to see him in action today, brought me to tears! Jake did an AWESOME job and finished in 4 hours and 9 minutes!!
I am so happy that Hayden was able to witness it this year (I am so sad that we weren't there last year)! Jake has been a wonderful role model for Hayden! Today, Hayden asked when he can run in a marathon! :)
                                    
The night before-- Marathon Expo.
 Hayden's Favorite part of the Expo
Finally, we found his name on the wall!
 Possibly a Future Marathon Runner? :)


 6:30am... smiling and ready to run!

 6:30am smiling, but not ready to run! :)

 Waiting to cheer Daddy on at mile 14!
 He's there somewhere :)  Mile 16
 Explaining his drawing to Daddy after the marathon... and he is still smiling!
         
Congratulations, Jake!  We are VERY proud of your wonderful accomplishment!!
