Chad and Patrick came with Courtney and Matt to cheer us on (Lauren and Emma were back in Iowa). Courtney cried pretty much the entire time. She wanted to run with us. She was crying when we started, then we saw everyone at about 2.25 miles and she was still crying and then was crying at the finish line too. She did apologize later, "for not cheering me on." She's been talking all weekend about getting running clothes and running in a race with me.
Here are few pictures of us after the race.
