First Full Marathon

The Shamrock Marathon was this Sunday! Vic ran his first Marathon in 4 hours 28 minutes! I dropped him off at 6:30 am at the ocean front. His race started about 8am. He ran 26 miles thru Virginia Beach. We were happy to be able to cheer him on at mile marker 4, 10, 19 and 23. We were so proud of him. About mile 19 he started feeling it. He started to hit "the wall". That is runners lingo for your body shutting down. He had a 3 mile uphill at mile 19 to 22 so that is when it happened. But he just had some gels, drank down his electrolytes from his runners belt and he was off to the finish! Enjoy the pictures!


Cheer squad...Victoria made Daddy a sign. Mamaw ringing the cowbell!

Vic took a few seconds to hug his favorite cheerleader!
