Run Sisters Run!!

If you're a regular reader of LBOS, you know that I have an awesome group of friends that I met through this blog. A few of these friends signed up to run the Chicago marathon and a few of us signed up to cheer them on. Sue came up with cute t-shirts and a cute name...Seoul Sisters. So, today we donned our Seoul Sisters shirts and set out to conquer our respective 'jobs.' Christine and I cheered them on and saw all but one (sorry, Jill) of the six (Kara, Emily, Jessica, Kris, Jill, and Sue) runners. We are so proud of you ladies!!

A beautiful Chicago day...

LOVE this pic...

Even Joel got in the action...



Can you see which Seoul Sister this is?

Bye Bye, Sue...

After the marathon, Gabe got a very special treat. That post is coming soon.

I'm so sorry to have missed being able to cheer them on. Their dedication to the training (not to mention the physical feat of 26 miles) is a true inspiration.
