My Friends are AMAZING!!!!

This past Sunday Tori and Sam ran their first half marathon.  These two have been training for months!! And when I say training I mean waking up at 4 to 5 AM and running for an hour or so!! They actually carry mace with them on their runs (now in my head that would trigger something saying maybe we shouldn't do this). The race they ran was to help raise money for Saint Jude's Hospital... the race raised about $17,000!!! I must say they did a great job running and I am very proud of them... even though they dragged Kimmy and I out of bed at 415 AM to get them there (it was well worth it).  Although I still do believe I am owed a Starbucks for that...hmmmm. Anyways the girls finished right at 2 hours (almost exactly on the dot!!) and that was their goal!! I must say though Sam looked like she had a better time when she crossed the finish than Tori did...lol.  Although you wouldn't know it since Tori is now fully addicted to these runs and has already signed up for another one!! Maybe the title of this blog should be my friends are AMAZING/CRAZY!!
Here are the great supporters that were there in the early AM!! Yeah Kim and I were supposed to make Tori a sign, but lets face it that early in the morning our brains were not functioning!! In this photo is Sam's boyfriend and family.
I wanted proof that I was there before the race started... I must say it was a pretty sunrise and pretty day!!
They finished and got medals!!! I don't think they give those out to everyone ;0)

And of course we had to get a group photo with these awesome ladies!!
