2007 Chicago Marathon

These fantastic fans surprised me on mile 13 with this great sign and BRIGHT shirts! It was exactly what I needed to help carry me through the second half of the race. 

Look it's me... and I'm smiling??! Who smiles at mile 14 in 90 degree heat?
This is out of order.. but Ken and I after the race. He and his girlfriend Laura came all the way from Denver Colorado to support me at the race. 
Although the race organizers 'cancelled' the race, I finished... look for the blue shorts and white tank top on the right hand side of this photo--- that's me!
I think mom and dad walked more than the 26.2 that day trying to keep up with the race course to surprise and support me while finishing the race! They deserve a medal too!
