October 9, 2010 - Triple Lakes Marathon

Someone with good advise told Cheeto to lay out all his gear the night before. He was getting pretty pumped up for the race the night before. We had a "Carb Load" dinner night with his marathon running buddies and their spouses. They watched "The Spirit of the Marathon." I can't say it was my choice of movie but it was appropriate for Cheeto and the running friends.

Cheeto, we both know I had a bad day the day of your marathon. I don't think I have said it to you and definitely didn't show it that day, how proud I am of you and this accomplishment. Not everyone can say they have accomplished such a feat. You have rocked those trails. You have an amazing gift for running those long miles. Thank you for leaving those boxes of Hostess and large glass a milk in your past. :) I've enjoyed watching you cross over to the fitness world. I love you always and forever! Congratulations on completing your first 26.2!
Can't wait to cheer you on in Myrtle Beach! LOVES!

You can see the sweat dripping off his temple. What a hottie! I'll hug him after his shower. LOL!

Waving to his fans.


Stop #6 waiting for Daddy again.

It was getting warmer and she WOULD NOT take off her Dora jacket.
She's still pretty darn cute.
