We were thrilled to be able to support Melissa and Chuck in their first half marathon today! Melissa has had the goal of running a half marathon for a while now and Chuck, being the supportive little bro he is, agreed to run it with her! Another one of the many reasons I love him!
We made signs to cheer on our half marathon runners, Chuck and Auntie Melissa!
Uncle Roy, Kayli, Logan, Landon, and I woke up early so we could be at the halfway point to cheer them on!
Landon was freezing since it was 8am and 45 degrees (our poor AZ babies!) so he snuggled in with Uncle Roy to stay warm :)
Here they come! Halfway point - 7 miles
They were going strong...
Both of them ran the ENTIRE 13.1 miles without stopping to walk or take a break - very impressive!!
Fatigue starting to set in...
Proudly showing off their medals
Great job! We are so proud of you both!
John, winner of the Biggest Loser last season, lives down here in Mesa and ran the Phoenix Half Marathon also. We had the opportunity to visit with him at the finish line because he finished right after Melissa and Chuck. Melissa (and I) are huge fans of the Biggest Loser and enjoyed his support and encouragement to the other runners.
Congratulations!!! We couldn't be more proud of you!
