Green River Marathon - Dedicated to Jen Perkins!

Our "Defying Gravity" team! (It ended at Alki Beach - awesome views!)

It is not easy to move afterwards!

Aaron and I at the finish line - so fun to run a race together!

It was emotional at the end

Coming in to the finish - the kids ran in with us! What a way to finish!

You have to be a little bit crazy to run a marathon - it is NOT an easy thing to do, even for the experienced runners! My friend Becky had a sister pass away last year the first weekend in June of cancer - it was a very quick thing with only one month being between the diagnosis and her death - she was in her 30's and just beginning to live life - with this being the year anniversary Becky decided to run the Green River Marathon about 2 weeks before it and dedicate it to Jen, who never got the chance to run one! She was gracious enough to ask a few friends to run it with her - I was injured so I wasn't able to run the entire distance but helped with water breaks and joining them the last 6 miles - miles were dedicated to friends and family members and it is always emotional to talk about our loved ones as we run - especially near the end when we are physically exhausted! What was so great was that several of the ladies were running their first marathon, including Becky! What an accomplishment! And Tracie was able to fly in for the race as well! We were also able to run with Aaron, Rob Darling, and Randy White. They are such huge supporters! Thank you so much! The whole experience was truly amazing and I'm so glad I got to be a part of it. We will miss Jen and we hope that Becky will continue to honor her sister! Love you Becky!
