Marathon!



So after months of training, the marathon finally arrived....but poor Bill's leg just wasn't liking the whole running thing. Bill pushed through over 13 miles before he decided that he'd rather be able to walk again than really hurt himself by finishing the race. His pace was awesome, though: he would have finished in 3h18m if he kept going at the same rate--that's so impressive!! His last marathon was 3h59m--wow! Otis, George, and I took him to the start and then Otis and I had a few spots along the race planned out to cheer him on, but we didn't actually pick a spot early enough to catch him running. The pictures are from the medical tent and from the finish line (Bill had to turn in his chip which was just painful since he had to see all the finishers--boo). Isn't Otis handsome in his jacket?
