WOW!!! Chris and Casey set out in January to run a Marathon!!! So they started training... every Saturday, Casey, Chris, and Megan would get up at at 5am and go running!
They trained... and trained HARD!! It was definitely a lesson in discipline for them all!! They promised when they had actually run 40 km in practice... that Casey & Chris would run in their Sunga's! (Brazilian Speedos! -the most common bathing suit for me, and most of the men wear 
them to run in also!) SO... they did!!! And it "Just so happened" to also be when Megan's Parents were in town for a visit!! Megan and Casey are NOW married (July 11th)!! But.... can you imagine... wearing your sunga in front of your Future In-Laws that you had only met twice before!!! That's courage!!! :) So... Chris and Casey got to the park on that Saturday...wearing... well.... VERY LITTLE!!!!! :) (...the pic was in the reception video also!!! LOL!!)

On Tuesday, April 21st... Chris, Casey, Megan, and Scott (Student who joined in!) ran 26.3 MILES! Chris finished in 4 HOURS and 45 MINUTES!! That... my friends... is a LONG TIME to be pounding the pavement!! The actual course had many hills! They had practiced on flat ground. They did so good... What an encouragement! Chris was able to incorporate much of wht he learned into SMASH messages! :) Talk about Perseverance! :)
