Kelly did great. She finished over 15 minutes faster than her previous race and she didn't get hurt!
If any of you ever want to be inspired and entertained; go watch a marathon. You will be inspired at the diversity of people running 26.2 miles as a personal challenge or the opportunity to raise money for a charity. You will be entertained by the different costumes and slogans people wear. You will be inspired by the family and friends on the sides of the streets cheering on their loved ones. You'll be entertained by performances and signs people have along the race route. You'll be inspired when you see people cross the finish line (some get across in great shape, some drag themselves across). You'll be inspired and entertained by people attempting and completing their goals!
Here are a few pictures to entertain and inspire! Congratulations to everyone who ran in San Diego!
Kelly crossing the finish line!
Have to get the pre-race carbs in! Lots of water too!
Bob Hope Memorial on San Diego waterfront
The USS Midway Museum
Getting buzzed by airplanes while walking around downtown San Diego. Great City to walk around, especially Balboa Park
We stayed in the Historic Gas Lamp District. Be sure to eat at the Italian Restaurant called MERK! Good food!
The sign everyone loves to see! Only .2 miles to go!
Kelly keeping to her plan and passing people!
Almost time to start! 6:50 AM
Yes that's a monkey on his back and he's wearing a diaper!
I saw several people in the race with walking boots! Wow!
US Marine Corp Band is a great way to start things!
Downtown San Diego!
I'm not so tall!
Scouting out the race route and where Kelly would start. It's always good to do a little research before you do/attempt something. Get a lay of the land.
Everyone needs a cheerleader! Or in this case a boxing Superman with a marathon race cap!
