He did it!

Scott ran the Chicago Marathon on Sunday in an impressive 4 hours and 23 minutes!

He was 1 of about 45,000 people in the race. If you think that's a lot of people you won't believe how many spectators there were...about 1.5 MILLION!!


It's such a cool experience to run the marathon and equally as fun to watch one. To see the support from all the communities is nothing short of amazing.

Scott did so well and even managed to have a smile on his face most of the way!





He also had a great pep squad cheering him on. Scott's parents, sister and my mom were there at numerous points during the run to keep him going. Aunt Carol and Kelly also stopped by to see him finish. I was lucky enough to join him at mile 20 to keep him motivated. Not that he needed much help!

Scott also found out this weekend that he received an entry into the Boston Marathon in April, through the Livestrong Foundation. He's already raised almost $7000 for them which is unbelievable.
