Mile 17

At the finish line!

At the finish line!

Congratulations to Bill, who completed his second marathon today!  He finished the Detroit Free Press Marathon in 3 hours and 43 minutes (8:32 mile), shaving 11 minutes off of last years time (even better than his goal time and with negative splits)!!  Grandpa Bill and I saw him at the start, mile 9, 13, 17, 25.5, and the finish.  I have to say he looked cool and relaxed at every point in the race, perhaps with the exception of the very end.  Bill and I went downtown yesterday to spend time together before the big event.  We stayed at the Westin Book Cadillac hotel while Grandma Judy watched Lilly.  It was a great event and I am SO proud of Bill!  More marathon’s to come, I’m sure…
