This Saturday, I went up to Chicago to watch my sister run her 4th Marathon. I went up to watch her because she was raising money for a charity which is near and dear to my heart. She was running for "Run for Autism." In order for her to be allowed to run, she had to raise $500 for a charity. My twin boys are both on the autism spectrum so I thought it was super cool she was running for them.
I can not even walk a marathon let alone run. How people want to run for almost 5 hours straight is beyond me? Unless, you are from Kenya and look like a skeleton and then you run it in 2 hours. Damn, they are fast! There were 45,000 runners. I feel this is an insane amount of people. Heather, my sister, ended up running it in 4 hours and 42 minutes. Normally, she runs it in right around 4 hours, but it was 84 degrees and humid and she was struggling to finish. It was not about time to her, it was about finishing this race because she was running and fighting for something she believed in. Needless to say, I am so very proud of her huge accomplishment and wanted to share it.
