This weekend I completed my first full marathon! It was an amazing thing. My older sis was the real trooper though, sometimes literally dragging me on during the last 5 or 6 miles. My mother ran most of the way and ran strong through the finish! I thought we were a close family before, but doing this together has brought us 100 times closer - I am really happy that I have such a cool family. Matt did a great job of coordinating all the runners and support staff and was leaned on by us all this weekend. Here are a few pics

These are the race bibs that we made for our runners
Morgan did amazing! He ran the half marathon, then came back and ran into the finish with all the rest of us!
This is Erin and I running in the last mile together. You can see my dad on the left, Matt behind Erin, Doireann is next to me, then Morgan next to her
This is my mom running through the finish line with Nate and Morgan. She is just amazing.
