Teton Dam Marathon

So this last Saturday Eric ran a half marathon(13.1 miles). He came in fifth place which I missed because I thought he told me to be at the finish line by 9:00 but apparently he told me to be there before 9:00 (I don't hear so good when I'm half asleep). So Mel and I got there around 9:00 and we had the camera ready and we're waiting and waiting and finally after 20 minutes of waiting and watching several runners go by that were not going very fast at all and I mean they were going really slow, Melanie says "those runners couldn't have beaten Eric, we've had to miss him." It was about then that Eric popped up behind us and I had to tell him the bad news that I didn't get a picture of him crossing the finish line. Thankfully Eric was a good sport about it and was fine just possing in front of the finish line with me.





Way to go Eric!!

Wow! Way to go, Eric! Jewels, I can't believe you missed him finishing the marathon! But I'm glad you got a picture of him posing anyway. Good job, Eric, and to you too Jewels, on your growing belly. I can't believe you only have a month left!!! Love you.
