Adam ran the Chicago marathon at the beginning of this month. He did amazing. I am so proud of him. He started training in May and had been very dedicated to eating well, getting plenty of sleep, and drinking lots of water. If he didn't have time to run in the morning, he would run at ten or eleven pm. He was like a little kid the day before the marathon, he couldn't wait to say he was a marathon runner. I think the marathon was even more special to him because it was in his favorite city, Chicago.
With 45,000 runners and 1.7 million spectators it was difficult to spot Adam running. But between his family and I, we found him. Ashley had the route of the marathon on her phone, so we met Adam at four different spots along the way: mile 3, mile 12.5, and mile 19, and mile 26. We saw Batman, Spiderman, a 40-week pregnant woman, men in their 60s and 70s, and Minnie mouse all running the marathon. It was a neat experience even for the spectators, but more importantly I felt blessed that I was able to be there to support my husband. Check, one thing off Adam's bucket list.
