marathon #3



Ladies and gentlemen! You're looking at a super STUD!!! Not only did he meet and EXCEED his goal, but his stats were awesome!!!! I am so dang proud of him!



He cruised into that finishing shoot like he'd been running for 10 minutes...full of energy...looking good...and he ended with minimal pain and cramping. A totally different experience from his first one!!! His goal for this marathon was to run a 3:30. His finishing time was: 3:28:29!!!



These are his running buddies...Jay, on the left, ran the full marathon with him. He also broke past his own personal goal, proud of him too!! Alvino, on the right, ran as part of a relay team this year, so he wasn't in too much pain at all!

So...here are Chris' other impressive stats:
:: Overall ranking was 71 / 1626 WOW
:: Gender ranking was 59 / 1010 WOW
:: Age ranking was 7 / 129 WOW!!!!!



We stayed at the Colcord hotel right down the street from the starting line, and it was swanky! Sooo nice. Very contemporary, posh, loved it!!!!!



Aspen had a lot of fun with Alvino's two girls this weekend...the youngest girl is Aspen's age, and they were attached at the hip once they got to know each other...



And along the drive home, before we were hit with some pretty heavy rains, we stopped by the side of the road to get some pictures with the red wildflowers. So pretty...I thought they were paintbrushes, but Mimi said they aren't. So we aren't sure what kind they are...







It was a really great weekend. I'm so full of pride. And inspiration. I love watching my man work so hard to meet the high standards he sets for himself...he truly makes it look so easy....

So proud of you baby!!!

Hygiene is commonly understood as preventing illness through cleanliness. In a broader call, the term means maintaining health and healthy living. Hygiene involves personal care, healthy diet, cleanliness and mental health as well. No wonder why Romans said : "Mens Sana in Corpore Sano", a healthy mind in a healthy body. That is why, good hygiene is aid to health, beauty and comfort.free download
