Rock 'n' Roll

Savannah hosted its first marathon this year. It was a rock and roll marathon with bands at each mile marker. I thought it was a pretty fun idea. The track ran right by our house with a water station at the end of the street and the 21st mile marker around the corner. Since all the roads were closed and Miguel and I were essentially "stuck" we got the dogs ready and headed out to watch the marathon fun.

The guy who won seemed to be wayyyy ahead of everyone when he passed us. Apparently he is just a college kid who likes to run.

The kid who won

One of the ladies who was keeping up with the male front runners. Apparently, the girl who won qualified for the olympics. 

After a little bit Miguel and I decided to head around the corner and down the street a little bit to see the band and the mile marker. The dogs were big helpers and cheered on the runners with us. We actually received a lot of comments on the dogs from the runners passing by. =)

 We watched the runners for a little over two hours. It was super cold, especially for Miguel who dressed in shorts and a short sleeved shirt. But we still had a lot of fun.  Someone cheered for my high school as they ran by because I was wearing a Wesleyan sweatshirt. Thought that was funny. We actually saw a lot of people from Atlanta running by. I even saw a guy I went to middle school with. He was up near the front too! But the highlight was definitely when we saw our friend Brandie run by! Way to go, Brandie!

If I had just run 21 miles and had to run five more I definitely wouldn't look this happy or cute! 

 Congrats to everyone who ran both the half and full marathon yesterday!!!
