Go Naty Go!


So, have I ever told you that I LOVE going to the finish line of the St. George Marathon? Well, I do. My little sister, Natalie, has run this marathon for the last 6 years. I have been to almost all of those. She inspires me every year when I watch her!! She makes running 26.2 miles look effortless. It's crazy!
Anyways, I love going because I just want to stand there all day and cheer for people. The finish line is the "glory moment" that they have raced 4-6 hours for. I'm all about finish line support for ALL. Some race across the finish line with their babies, some hold hands with their spouses, some do a cartwheel, some carry flags, some barf, some crawl...it is SO cool (minus the barfing...that just breaks my heart, and I get sympathetic heaves) !! I just bawl my eyes out when I see the inspiring stuff...like my sister. I cry every year. She makes me so proud. This year, she even was willing to wear our office logo on the back of her race jersey. Thanks, Naty!!

Natalie is my hero! Good for her. I would be bawling my eyes out at the finish line (and barfing too if I saw other barfing). You're such an awesome sister!!!
What a super star family you have.
