Sunday morning came bright and early. We got up and packed our car up and were on our way to see Ryan and Rick run shortly after 7:30. We left kind of not knowing where we were going, but amazingly enough, made no wrong turns as we just guessed our way to the spot we were hoping to get to. We arrived at a McDonald's along the route, and had time to get some coffee and a quick bite to eat (ummmmm...the new oatmeal at McDonald's is delicious!). We walked up a nice, steep hill, and waited for Ryan and Rick to come. 
This picture makes me laugh for a couple of reasons. I was trying to get a picture of Isaiah holding a sign...this is what I got. He's NOT a camera lover. The thing that makes me laugh the hardest, though is Leah's gloves. Click on the picture to enlarge it, and you will see that Edgar has found a pair of Carly's gloves and put them on Leah's hands so they won't get cold. He's always on top of things :) Thanks, Carly, for letting us borrow your gloves. By the way...they are sitting on my counter...
Eli stood along the road dancing, and talking to himself most of the time. He can always entertain himself...
Here comes Rick! He got a nice big hug from Julean.
Oh sure, Isaiah...NOW you'll hold up your sign...
Adriana did get up to see her dad, but this is where she spent most of the time waiting for him...I thought Michiganders were suppose to be more tolerant of the cold than that...(side note totally unrelated to the marathon, but I'm quite amused that 'Michiganders' didn't come up as a misspelled word when I ran the spell check. Maybe it really IS a word...)
Kristi and her kids headed to the finish line to see Rick cross, and Edgar, the kids and I stayed to wait for Ryan. I can't believe I actually got this picture-we were watching and watching, then all of a sudden he was in front of me. Edgar didn't even see him. He ran by, gave Leah a kiss, then he was gone. He's fast like that.
Both Rick and Ryan did an amazing job. Rick was running injured, and Ryan had run the half-marathon the day before. The fact that they were standing at this point is amazing to me :)
Because Ryan ran both the half-marathon and the full, he got 3 medals. These are the two he received on the day of the marathon...the Mickey Mouse one is for the marathon, the Goofy medal is for completing the 'Goofy challenge'...ya know...running both races.
I am pretty sure this is about how Ryan & Rick felt...
