Flying Pig Marathon 2014!

Chris has always enjoyed running and has always wanted to participate in the Flying Pig Marathon.  Well, this year, he finally had his chance!  He trained for months for the big event and felt confident about the run.  We met up with our friends, Emily and Brian, and headed downtown.  Both Chris and Brian were running the half so it was nice for Chris to have someone to start the run with.  Emily, Brian's mom, and I followed along the route to catch them running at different points throughout the race.  It was such a fun, energetic atmosphere, especially at 6am!! 
 Making their way to the starting line!
 We held up a giant pink noodle for Chris and Brian to see as they ran by, and it helped!  They both said they could spot us from a mile away!
 1 hour 43 minutes after his starting time, he crossed the finish!
 
 Congratulations Chris and Brian!  Chris is already talking about setting a new PR for next year!
