Aunt Laura - she did a great job of picking out a place for us to watch and getting us there. She also led a few of us to meet up with Erik after he finished...I don't know what we would have done without her expert planning and direction!
Our favorite runner - he even slowed down for some High-5s along the way!
Erik finished with a time of 3:09:36 and placed 2,594th out of 22,540 runners. We're so proud of him!

How inspiring...it makes me want to start running, then again, maybe not.
Huh, I kinda thought that I was Erik's favorite runner...
A special shout out to our chauffeur--mom. It doesn't look like she made the cut in any of the pictures. Did you "cut her off your team" in the words of Malachi?
Wow! What a great achievement!!! Now when Erik runs down Falls Road, I can say "there goes that Boston Marathon guy". I think we should get a sign on the Bainbridge city limits sign to recognize him. He has to be as famous as the first dental school.
Mom - you will be appearing in an upcoming post. I definitely did not forget about you or mean to exclude you. You did a great job getting us to and from Boston safely and as quickly as possible. Plus we had a lot of fun along the way!
