Last weekend, I headed to Memphis, TN to run the St. Jude's Marathon. This was my 6th marathon.
We got up bright and early to carb up for our 26.2 mile journey.
We ae bagels with peanut butter and toast.
Shelley and I were ready to get this show on the road. We are hanging out in our hotel's hallway.
This is part of our running group. We were gearing up to head to the Westin to meet the rest of our gang. We all stayed at the Residence Inn together.

These people are our heroes! They were our crew members. They offered lots of love and support to us runners!
