He Did It!

.
Our son Andy (known as Chicago blogger U "R" Us to the CDP community) finished the Chicago Marathon Sunday in great time. It was his first one. He trained hard and it showed. He still has a strong pump here a few meters from the finish line. I gotta tell ya, mom and dad are proud of this young man.

An approving hug from a certain special someone followed the event.

You can see more photos from the marathon here.

    I agree with Olivier, "UN GRAND BRAVO!" I'm proud of Andy as well. What an accomplishment!! He deserved that hug. Sorry I wasn't there to see it in person. The Flickr set is just great B.
