OKC Pics
Pics, finally. I can't wait for the comments!!!
Pre-race smiles. That is the Oklahoma memorial in the background. Boy, do I look happy!!!
I almost look too happy.
Here is the marathon start. I am not in this picture so don't waste a lot of time looking for me.
Because I am running so fast.
I am just a blur
The tree in the background is known as the "Survivor Tree". It was at ground zero the day the bomb exploded, but somehow managed to survive. It has become a symbol of hope for OKC. Its image is also found on the medal.
Running past the state capitol was fun.
Did you know that the entire time I lived in Oklahoma, the capitol was missing the dome. It was finally added to the capitol building a few years ago.
Here we are running around Lake Hefner. I am still running with Gina at this point. We are approaching mile 14, where I send her off on her own.
My niece is running towards me at mile 20. I am pretty sure, at this point, she is running faster than me.
And here are my niece and nephew giving me some words of encouragement. I think their words were "Go faster. We're hungry and we can't get lunch until you are done".
So I am sprinting towards the finish line. Look at those amazingly long strides.
And crossing the finish line!!!
Finally!
What a great run
Here is the medal. It is still my favorite design to date. The Goofy medal was neat, don't get me wrong, but this one has class.
"Honor - Celebrate - Reach - Unite - A Run To Remember"
Good Times!
