Rockin’ Brothers

I have the BEST brothers!
They trained for 8 weeks with me and on their own.

They waited in the registration line.

They dealt with blisters, pulled groins, back aches, and stomach sickness.

They woke at 3:00 a.m.

Hung around at the start line for nearly 2 hours.

One of them even stayed on pace with me so we could cross the finish line at the exact same time. He pushed, pulled, and cheered me on the final miles.

Just so I could finish a half marathon.
They are the BEST!

That's AWESOME! Good JOB! What would we do without brothers. LIfe wouldnt be the same. So that is why you went to San Diego. You are brave and tough. I always admire people who can do that endurance running stuff.

I've been a little emotional the last couple of days.. but I got all teary-eyed reading this. That is so cool Emrie! Very exciting and your brothers are AWESOME!

Congrats Emrie! That is such an amazing experience. I don't know how you fit your training in but you should get double points for doing a 1/2 marathon with all those cute babies at home! Good job
