Somewhere on my husband's bucket list it reads, "Run a Marathon" and as of today that item is crossed off his list. Supporting him training for this huge accomplishment was not always easy and I complained about him being gone a lot, but I am so proud of him!
Here are some pictures before, during, and after the race.

Austin and I went to Alki to see Darren finish. I pointed him out to Austin as he was coming in and Austin wanted to get down and "go get Daddy". So I set Austin down and he took off running. It was quite possibly the sweetest moment I have had as a mother (besides of course meeting each of my boys for the first time).
I know I wasn't the only one with tears in my eyes when Austin and Darren caught up to each other.
Darren carried Austin for the last bit of the race, so I guess in a way you can say that Austin finished a marathon today too.
Way to go Darren! We're so proud of you.

| By the way, he finished in 3:27:48, just under his personal goal of 3 1/2 hrs. |
