Ryan ran the PF Changs rock and roll Arizona marathon on Sunday. It was his third full marathon and the second time he had run this one. He had a goal to run it in 3 hours and 45 minutes. He ran it in 3 hours 51 minutes. Which still took 8 minutes off his best time. I was so proud of him. It is always so exciting to go watch. Some of those people look like its not even a effort for them. It amazes me. Laurel (Ryans mom) went with us. We watched him take off then went to find somewhere to eat breakfast along the way. She told me which freeway to go on and I was sure it was the other one so we got lost. Then we hit a bunch of road closures after breakfast and once again I didn't listen to her and it took us forever to get there. Then after the marathon we got stuck in the parking garage for 1 hour and 45 minutes. Fun! Oh well, we got to see him and that's all that matters. Hre are some pictures from the day.
He had me write on the back of his legs for fun

One last pit stop (hehehe his gonna kill me for posting this one)
Getting ready to go
His corral number (he was in corral 7 the first time he ran, they do it by expected time to finish)
There he is right before the start (right in the middle)
Waiting for him at the finish line (yes Jeremy is sucking on the bar)
Him running over the finish line (in the red. The clock time said 3:53 but his chip time was 3:51)
