So proud!

We went to Green Bay this weekend with Joey's family to watch him run his first marathon! Not only did he make training look like breeze, he made the race look like that too!!

He ran 8 minute miles (just over) and finished his first marathon with a time of 3hrs 32 min. His goal? To finish..... I think he accomplished that! He finished 329th out of a few thousand people!

His twin sister, Jenny, a marathon runner was suppose to run with him but hurt her hip so had to back out... but she jumped in and ran the last 6 miles with him which Joey appreciated :-) So they crossed the finish line together!

5am.... getting ready for the day!

In front of Lambeau filed... right before the race started.

And they're off! 0.1 miles down :-)

Look how great he looks! Mile 13!

Here come the runners.

Isn't he cute?

Mile 20 why are they having so much fun!?!?

Mile 22 getting tired.

Last stop Lambeau field

I was so happy to see him at the finish :-)

SOOOO happy to be done!

Aren't we matchy matchy ? :-)

I was so so so proud of him!

Wow, look at how happy he is! Give him my congrats! I hope to look half that decent at mile 13, in a month!

Too cute on the matching green as well!

Joseph...how is he still smiling in every stinking picture? I guess anyone who has as nice of a smile as Joey has SHOULD show it off.

CONGRATS JOE!!!
