The marathon that WAS

William running, trying to catch Daddy. This kid can RUN.

About a month ago Nathaniel woke up one Saturday morning and decided that was the day he WOULD run a marathon... in the park behind our house! This man has some serious dedication to his goals! Love him. :) About an hour after he set out the kids and I packed up gatorade, water and some bananas to hang out at the park and be the "fuel station" for Nathaniel. I'd say we did a pretty good job! ;) The kids were done after a couple hours at the park, but we all survived. Nathaniel did it! And now he's tucking that away and moving right on to the next goal... muscles! We all know his chances for success there! :)





Lots of sand castles and burying of feet were done in our 2 1/2 hours... though every 10 min or so one of the boys handed out a water bottle to N.

Thumb-up for the finish!
Oh, the pain!


Great job, Nathaniel. I'm so proud of you! I'm also so glad that you're not planning on any more marathons... ;)

I love the pick of W with the sticks, he looks like a little "lost boy" from Peter Pan. Too cute.
