Your pictures definitely captivated me :)<br /><br />Congrats to Caroline for running a marathon--and for you being there to support her!! I really hope I can run a marathon within the next 9 years. LOL. Does that sound ridiculous? I just want to do it BEFORE I'm 40 :) I think I'll need a lot of training though.....Erin from Hey, Soul Sister!http://mistermisterontheradio.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4030496918044060645.post-17254106398056205162011-10-12T10:08:28.110-04:002011-10-12T10:08:28.110-04:00;) I love Chicago!;) I love Chicago!The Many Thoughts of a Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12261949837343560602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4030496918044060645.post-44347704227618230252011-10-12T07:31:48.819-04:002011-10-12T07:31:48.819-04:00I teared up just reading this recap, actually.

And I almost cried when we watched Lauren finish but I made myself pull it together becuase I did not want ot be the schmuck crying in public at the marathon. Ha. I think once you have done a marathon, it forever will be a really emotional experience to be at a marathon, even if you aren't running!<br /><br />I volunteered a couple of weeks ago at a marathon and my feet were sore after that! It's work to be on your feet for that many hours. It is awesome that you got to see Caroline at so many places! Way to be super duper spectators! She will treasure those photos you took and I am sure seeing you guys out there is what helped her make it to the finish line.Lisa from Lisa's Yarnshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05335500882510597919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4030496918044060645.post-26305317059262728892011-10-12T07:03:10.250-04:002011-10-12T07:03:10.250-04:00hahah I love that you love Einstein Bagels too!!

It must have been so much fun. :)<br /><br />I spectated at my mom's marathon in January. We had to leave the hotel at 3:00am which means I didn't get one wink of sleep (just decided to stay up when midnight rolled around...) and then it took her a long time (7 hours) so my brother and I were super busy with rushing to see her and couldn't get into a park to get food and couldn't find a way back to our hotel. Sooo... yeah. Fun day. No sleep + no food = a very hangry Stephany! Plus, I only got to see my mom at Mile 4, Mile 9, and Mile 12.5. I didn't see her again until the finish. She didn't have her phone and I had no idea how she was doing (texts weren't working). I was SO worried for a good 2-3 hours. Hopefully, this year will go MUCH more smoothly! :)<br /><br />Glad you had such a great time in Chicago! And yay Caroline!Stephanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01664500645286563334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4030496918044060645.post-82760720052341355172011-10-11T22:58:13.971-04:002011-10-11T22:58:13.971-04:00It sounds like you guys did A LOT of running aroun...It sounds like you guys did A LOT of running around - I don't blame you for being sore! <br /><br />I think it's so so great that Caroline had such an awesome support team for her first marathon. That makes a huge difference.

I'm so glad she found you in the crown and you got to cheer her on. Thank goodness! Congrats to CAROLINE!

Both because your sister is simply awesome and because you are such a trooper for being out there all day!<br /><br />I have spectated an Ironman but not a marathon. In an Ironman there's a lot of waiting around because for a massive chunk of it you can't see anyone.
