Oh that Dam Marathon

So I bet you're all thinking, "Wow Kinzie ran a half marathon good job!" Well if that's what you're thinking I'm sorry to tell you that you are completely wrong. I did not run a half marathon nor do I plan to run one anytime soon. From the comments I heard and the funny walking I saw from my in-laws experience it really made me appreciate my spot as the photographer. So I am really hear to blog about the troopers from the Fowler family that ran the half marathon. Good job guys you finished 13.1 miles!

    The crew that ran. (They are secretly scared out of their minds.)
 Getting ready to go to the starting line. Good thing Chels used the rest room she didn't want to be "one of those stories".
Cody was a little freaked he won't admitt it out loud, but from this picture thats probably what his shoulders really felt like. Tight as a rubber band!

 Michelle gettin' ready to go run her little heart out and I know she is so thrilled about it
   I'm pretty sure Chelsea is the only one that is actually excited to run this marathon!
                          Right before take off
     Here comes Chels finishing strong in all tie-dyed she looked legit.
         
                                    There's Jared!

     And there's Michelle! Her first words coming in were "I'm never running again don't care, I hate it, I'll never do it again" Hahah!


Ha! What a Goof :)

I bet you're all wondering where are  the pictures of Cody coming in. Well here I have a confession to make. So I'm told that it takes a little over an hour and a half  to run this thing if you have about 8 minute miles, so I was thinking I could go home for a little bit and get stuff ready for when everyone came over after. I left exactly when I was told, even a little early, and I missed Cody come in. Yeah, bad wife award for me. I missed him by 7 minutes. Seriously, 7 mintues.... Come to find out this guy was running about 6 minute miles and finished the race in 1 hour and 32 minutes! Good Job Lover! I wanted him to run through again so that I could at least get a picture, but I'm pretty sure that's illegal and it would have messed everyone up so I settled for these pictures instead. Over all Cody got 7th place and took 2nd in his age group, what a stud. :) Chelsea even got a few medals herself she placed 2nd for the women in her age group! Everyone did a great job and represented the Fowler Family well. Maybe next year I will be supporting in the Dam Marathon again!

       They look fine now, but I feel sorry for them in the morning.....
