Corey's Marathon

Well, this was the big day that Corey has been training for so very hard and with such dedication...the St. Jude Marathon! 26.2 miles...what goes into preparing for that? Well, running through an Achilles injury, squeezing in runs on lots of days when you'd rather just rest, and around 250 miles of training runs that took over 40 hours. Yes, it's a lot...and I'm so proud of him! He ran the marathon in 5 hours and 3 minutes and was able to raise $565 for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. Thank you to all who supported him...way to go, Corey!

Fred and Corey before the race...
Around mile 3...
Halfway there...Mile 13
And then we took a break with yummy peppermint hot chocolate!
Waiting inside Auto Zone Park for the guys to finish...
Entering the stadium...
At the finish line!
