Wedding and Marathon

What a weekend!  The weekend before last my family was in town to babysit as Ben and I were in our good friends' wedding, Mark and Laura!  We had such a great time, Laura looked beautiful and the whole wedding went perfectly.  It was great to see and catch up with so many friends too!

Then, 2 days later I ran the Grand Rapids Marathon.  Picture perfect day (after a little AM rain) and my parents, Ben, Charlie, and friends were there to cheer me on.  Seeing Charlie along the course was such motivation!  Now we can go on those fall hikes and walks I have been looking forward to and not be focused on training for the rest of the season :)

This was all worth it!
