Jonathan finished the 1/2 marathon!
We are so proud of him. He injured his knee and it moved into his shin and then his achilles a couple days before the race. He was pretty worried about it and couldn't run all week but he finished and didnt really have much problem with it while he was running, thank goodness!
Downtown was crazy, i think there were about 15,000 participants in the race. It was a great atmosphere and Jonathan really enjoyed the run itself. They had live music set up in spots, you run down Beale Street, through Overton Park and St jude and then finish in Redbirds Stadium.
It was a great feeling to see all the Irun4 Evie shirts!!
Luke loves Evie!
Daddy's biggest fans
I tried to take pictures when i saw people in Evie's shirts, i didnt get everyone but here are a couple!
Then came Daddy!!
All smiles at the 5k mark!

Oh my word!! I was there yesterday and I saw those shirts while I was running. I didn't realize it was for YOUR Evie Grace! I wish I could have met you and Ramsey. Congratulations to everyone on finishing!! It was definitely rough. I am so impressed by their times!
ReplyDeleteI love all the shirts- especially the one on that sweet baby bump:) Glad everyone did so well!
ReplyDeleteMy mother and I are so honored to have met you and to be included in your blog! We would be even more honored to wear an iRun 4 Evie Grace shirt next year so please do it again! You can count on two more customers. (or more depending on who we recruit for the cause ;-)) Thanks so much again for brightening my day and sharing your life with us. You are such an inspiration.
