MY BOSTON MARATHON DAUGHTERS

Dear Family.

I need to comment on my three daughters who ran the Boston Marathon, Cheryl, Mary and Becca.  They looked forward to this for a year and trained rigorously.  They kept track of why they ate, how far and fast they would run and competed in several local marathons. But what is interesting is that they haver 16 kids among them.  Husbands took care of the families and these lovely ladies met in Boston.

I say lovely because looking good while you are running seems to be important as well.  Here they are in their matching outfits.  I think Cheryl arranged for the outfits.  Bryan got them the shoes all which  matched.  The girls did not train in these shoes because they did not want them dirty for the race.

Those cards had a computer chip in them so you could go online and see where they were and check their times.

They did not run for time but all ran together three abreast and the crowd would yell, "Way to go ladies!"  Mary saw several people she knew in the crowd.  Here is Mary delighting the crowd with her Mary Poppin's jump.  They were having a ball.  They took their time but believe with coasting, they made it under four hours,

Here they are finish line.  You gotta admire these  Moms who trained so hard and had a ball at the Boston Marathon.  Way to go gals!

Love, Dad
