On Sunday, Leroy ran his 3rd Marathon!!
26.2 miles!!
We made our signs and headed out to cheer him on. Ladybug was a bit harder to keep entertained this year but we made it through our own 26.2 miles :)
Waiting for Leroy at Mile 8
Ladybug's sign for Leroy
Here comes Leroy!!
Auntie Ann came to cheer too, Mile 8 is a block from her house...
Bug was a bit disappointed Jonathan was still sleeping :)
We meet up with Aunt Leslie and Grandma in Rice Village, Mile 12
Aunt Leslie made Bug a sign...let's skip the blue glitter next year :)
The official "Gu Holder" of the 2012 Houston Marathon
Here come Leroy, Mile 12!
After stopping for breakfast we headed to Memorial Park to wait for Leroy at Mile 21
Bug switched her sign as it was later in the day and the clock was ticking
This guy made me laugh, he was texting and talking on his phone while running...he had to be well into his 70's :)
We had been waiting a while for Leroy when Bug turned to Tim and I and said "I have to go potty". Go figure right? So we told her Leroy was almost there then we would take her to potty. She said, "okay". She turned to us a few moments later and said..."I pooped." Nice Bug...we will forever remember mile 21.
Here comes Leroy!
After Leroy passed Bug got upset that she didn't give him his "Gu", so Tim picked her up and started running to catch him. He caught up with him but Bug botched the hand off and dropped it :)
She got a kick out of it though!
The weather was gorgeous near finish time but Bug was done. The comment of the day was "Can we go do something else?"
Big Bird ran the race too!
Almost to the finish line!! Go Leroy!!
Leroy made it to the finish and onto the Big Screen!!
His official time: 5:00:52
Bug officially had the best time on the hill at Discovery Green!
26.2 x3!!
Bug ate her share of Leroy's snacks :)
Putting Leroy's metal back on
The future marathoner and her marathoner...
