Myrtle Beach Marathon: February 17, 2007

Scene: Myrtle Beach Marathon and Expo (Grand Marriott Hotel)
People: Myself, Mark, Heather, my cousin Drew, Jessica --- 1/2 Marathon runners
Place: Myrtle Beach, SC
Time: Saturday, February 17; 6:10am-9:00am
Temperature: 26 degrees - 28 degrees

So - this is it. Saturday morning. We rose at 4:45am and were out at the starting line around 6:10 or so in 26 degree weather, before sunrise, ready to get our run on. We ran for a few hours, then got some medals - gave some hugs - smiled a lot at the accomplishment - froze our butts off, etc. It was a good time, and these pictures captured a little of it. (the ones in the dark are obviously pre-race pictures --- the ones in the light are post-race).
