What a weekend! Daniel and his dad have been training for the past few months to run in this year's San Antonio Rock 'N Roll Half Marathon, which finally all became worth it on Sunday when they ran the big race! They ran in memory of his cousin, Glory, and raise money for the charity her brother started after her death - RACE Charities. (If you're interested in giving, please email me at meg.faye@gmail.com.)
Daniel exceeded his expectations and ran the race in 1:49:18, and that even includes about a three minute delay from an unscheduled train. This picture is at about the three mile marker and unfortunately, this is the only picture I got of him running... because he ran so much faster than he expected, we missed him at the other two spots we were hoping to see him. (Sorry, hun!) I'm so proud of him!
Elli was an absolute trooper the whole morning! There were a few moments she got tired of being in her stroller, but she was very interested in all the runners and caught on quickly that we were looking for Daddy and Papa.
Daniel's dad ran with Daniel's cousin Jeromy, and they finished with a great time of 2:13:06.
Jeromy brought Elli some RACE Charities gear, and boy was she a cutie!

That's awesome Meg! It brought tears to my eyes thinking about Glory. What a neat way to remember her and celebrate her life. Way to go Daniel!!!!
