Marathon Support Crew

We had the chance to cheer on my friend Stephanie on her first Half Marathon on Saturday.  If you've ever run a Half or entire Marathon, you know that those silly signs that people hold up can be the encouragement you need to get up the hill, keep running, or just get you over the wall.  I decided to have some fun with it:

@Approx 3 miles: Run Now, Wine Later

@ Approx 5 Miles: Hey Girl, keep running! This guy will be waiting for you at the Finish Line (her fiance)

@ Approx 8 miles: Don't worry, tomorrow you won't feel your feet at all!

We also ran into another friend (Jessie) right off the start line, who was very excited to see us:

"Hey, I know you!!"

We weren't the only ones with the motivational sign idea, we saw this around the 8 mile mark:

But most importantly, Steph finished her Half Marathon, and she was greeted with her Half Medal and of course, roses (what girl doesn't love getting flowers?!) Welcome to the Half Crazy club, Steph!

Golden Tidbit:

We had some chase music as the Mobile Support team and Charles introduced me to the song "Gold".  Clink the word Gold and it will link you to iTunes, the song is just $1.29! (doesn't hurt that Macklemore is a local Seattle Artist, too!)
