WARNING: Serious bragging ahead
Mark & Dani both ran in a half marathon today....their first one. For those of you who don't know how far that is .......it's 13 miles! It started in the Colonie Town park (I have more pictures of the park for another post)
The Cat's Eye Pest mascot was there.
LiLi wanted no part of doing a "hi five"
However Miss Molly considered it for a few seconds!
Here they are starting along with about 800 other runners.
We managed to see Mark at about the 7 mile mark but had missed Dani as she ran faster than we had calculated.
Here's Dani about 75 yards from the finish line.
Now Mark at the same place
What a beautiful place for the finish.....the Corning Preserve in Albany. Also an absolutely perfect fall day!

I am in awe. Congratulations to the both of them. WOW I thought they invented cars so that no one ever had to run that far.
