Tired even thinking about it!

Alright... well here is the story. My sister Rebecca is an avid runner. Never would have known that in High School because I was more the runner than either of my sisters. Anyway, she signed up for the Lincoln Marathon some day this summer... yeah good to blog after it is well over a month ago! I'll learn, maybe.
Anyway, I stayed at Rhiannon's the night before because the next week (I believe) was my little brother's High School graduation. Okay. So, Rhiannon and I worked on Caleb's scrapbook and then got up bright and early to go and cheer on Becca and different mile markers. So, we didn't really make the start but managed to get there for a FEW of the mile markers. So, two boys (Kenner and Patton... Rylan was with Jeremy in Storm Lake) Rhiannon and I got up, went and got a first class breakfast at McDonald's and headed on our way. Not eating in the car going to wait to eat it while waiting to see Becca. We no longer get across this bridge and she waives with a huge smile and says hi! I couldn't believe it! I had my camera ready and totally missed her. Go Figure! So, off we go and get back in our car... nope still no breakfast eaten. :) We managed to lock the keys in the car (yes Rhiannon's new car) So we get in with Mike and wow... I'm still happy to see that he still married my sister. It really wasn't a big deal but trying to go and find her at the next mile marker just wasn't going to happen so we went to the finish line. We dodged some police because there were two little Mr.'s not in their car seats. Thanks Mike! So, we were able to see Becca kinda saw her as we were RUNNING to the finish line (yes, very winded after running MAYBE a FEW blocks, if that!) So, we did kind of see her finish but couldn't get a picture... so this is the best I could do. :)
After going to see her run by the first stop... and then figuring out we locked the keys in the car... no spare. opps!
After the race and Mike & Becca dropping us off at Rhiannon's.

After the race (of many things) What a proud Fiance, at the time.... and then thinkin auh you have a couple of nuts for sisters!

FINISHED!



Way to Go Becca! I'm glad it was you and NOT me!

Opps.. a little out of order... I think one of those people were Becca.. .and if not pretend. :)... This was before the finish line. I was trying to stop while running and trying to beat her to the finish line.
All the people watching and then you should have seen the people pulled over along side of the road just watching! AMAZING... yeah again out of order. Towards the begining of the race.
