26.2

Here is Grandma sporting her grandkids pictures during the race!!

Waylen Says: "Grandma, Im so glad I crossed the finish line with you!"



today was a monumental day. colleen's mom ran and completed her first marathon! she joined 14,000 others in the detroit free press marathon. that's 26.2 miles, friends. some of us can't walk that far. the course took her around detroit, belle isle, across the ambassador bridge, into windsor and back via the tunnel. can you imagine? she did it! months of training on hines drive in her own backyard and now this. we even went out to eat afterwards. debbie didn't have to be carried, rolled or anything. SHE KICKED BUTT AND TOLD THAT MARATHON WHO'S BOSS!
