Here is Briggs and Daddy by the Marathon sign when we went to pick up Justin's race packet.
First night there we met up with our good friends the Raney's, who took us to a little hole in the wall restaurant, The Old Coffee Pot. One word...YUM! It was seriously some of the BEST seafood gumbo I have ever put in my mouth...highly recommend it. We had a great time visiting!
Here we are waiting in the bitter cold for Daddy to run by. I promise I had him wrapped up, but you can tell Briggs is thinking...You people are crazy getting up this early in the morning to run..FOR FUN!
And there is Daddy in the red shirt/ black shorts. We were jumping up and down yelling for him...he is looking strong and right here was mile 6....only 7.1 more miles to go :)
Since we were only an hour away...Abby refused to be that close and not come see us. So she loaded up Brooks and headed down to New Orleans.
When we were meeting up, she had to wait for me and my friend to get there. I told her...don't get out of your car and keep you doors locked...Abby's response...oh don't worry, I have my pistol and I'll put a cap in anybody who tries to get us....and trust me folks, she would :)
Here she is kissing on the boys. Briggs thinks Aunt Abs is funny
Group shot...
Below is another group shot and to the right is my dear friend Emily. I love this girl, she is seriously one of the most positive people in my life. Her sweet spirit is contagious and I absolutely LOVE every minute we get to spend together! I honestly would have never made it during the race without her.
We both used to live in Baton Rouge and that's where we became good friends. I was tickled I got to spend the morning hanging out with her (b/c we never get to do that anymore), and she helped me navigate through the ghetto and not get shot....haha, joking...it seriously wasn't bad. I never felt unsafe the whole time we were in NO.
And here we are with Daddy. Briggs liked his metal and Justin was just glad to be finished.
