Kentucky Derby Marathon

After over a year of anticipating, Jared finally got to run the Kentucky Derby Marathon. The weather was pretty certain of rain the entire time.

Jared ran the first 8 miles or so really well in a perfect light spritzing rain, and then it started really raining hard! The whole family was following along and sending encouraging notes. The last 8-9 miles were rough. Dani came and ran with Jared for a half mile close to the finish and was commenting how my shoes were squishing every step of the way.

Given the staggered start time, the finish line was pretty deserted, but Dani was there to cheer him across.
 

Jared felt so so excited about his accomplishment.
