Jonathan ran in the Marathoning for Miracles half marathon last weekend with his brother, Samuel. He has been working really hard and has been so disciplined in his training. I just don't get how you can run for an hour and a half and enjoy it...
He had also extended the invitation to his classes and made a deal with them. He said that if at least one student would run the half he would drop one of their lowest homework grades. And if they ran in it and BEAT him he would drop an additional homework grade! He had three students run the half, but he beat them all! (Proud wife moment!) Then we had them all over for brunch afterward.
Here are some of the pictures from the race...
Samuel finished in 1 hour and 30 minutes (the clock in the pics is for the marathon runners time)

Jonathan finished in 1 hour and 46 minutes

Both, Sam and Jonathan, wanted their times to be faster. I was incredibly proud of them though! And Jonathan had been sick the whole week prior and wasn't able to run all week. The Lord definitely gets the glory for his strength and endurance to finish the race!
