St. Jude Memphis Marathon Weekend

What a weekend! It was my first time to run the marathon relay and it was so much fun! And the sunny, beautiful 60 degree weather certainly didn't hurt anything! The energy downtown amongst 18,000 runners and thousands more fans is something you have to experience to understand. Amazing! And I know Carson was cheering on her whole team as we ran in her memory! And thanks to some super swift runners on our marathon relay team, we placed 8th out of 70 all female teams and we weren't even trying. If we had known, I wouldn't have chatted it up with Bethany at our exchange point for so long. Ha! We killed that 26.2 miles! 




Waiting for Betsi at mile 4

A little Elvis entertainment at mile 4

Chandler sighting at mile 4! Stopped for a quick pic! 

The view as I began my leg around mile 10. People as far as you could see running down Madison Ave.

Lauren, Bethany, Me, Betsi and Erin. Not a shabby bunch!
