2011 Fargo Marathon

Fargo held it's annual marathon this past weekend and once again, it was a huge success drawing in over 22,000 runners between all the events. Even though I've never participated, I still look forward to it each year. It's inspiring to read the stories about people running to overcome a tragedy in their lives or those who are dedicating their run to a particular person or cause. It's also one of the few sports where you will see people of all ages and fitness levels participating and it's quite fun to watch and hard not to get a slight urge to do it myself... someday (when I run out of excuses). :)

Once again, Josh participated, this time doing the half marathon. Unfortunately he hurt his foot around mile 3 but kept on going and finished in just 2 hours, 12 minutes!!! Needless to say, I was very proud of him. Once again, he worked very hard and accomplished his goal. Joey and Sam are very lucky to have a daddy they can look up to.

Josh looks pretty good for just running 13.1 miles! Joey had to wear his medal to be "just like dad".
