ARA-Moe's Better Half Marathon


Sundays are family day for us and last Sunday was no different.  We packed the kids in the car with blankets, snacks, signs and good spirits and headed to San Marcus, TX for Daddy's 7 a.m. start time for the half marathon.  Temperatures were 37º with a windshield factor of 27º.  Brr!  What a blast Kristen and I had traveling the beautiful country back roads looking for places to watch the guys run by.  It was pretty cold out, so the kids jumped out of the warm cars just in time to see the dads.  Run, Daddy, Run!      


Leaving before sunrise

Doug, Tripp, Josh and Jason


The kids made signs for their dads at Kristen's Pre-race Pasta Party!

Here they come at mile marker 7


Brady was crying because he wanted his sign that was in the car, but earlier wanted to leave it.

Mr. Jason giving Carolyn a little pat.


Mile marker 10.  Look at those hills.
