Marathon Monday

I'm sitting here at the hotel, Venti starbucks in hand and Isaac peacefully sleeping away in the big swing. Oh yes, we did find a baby rental company that brought a big swing to our hotel room (genius business idea--we paid $55 for a $90 swing for 4 days but oh so worth it). We sent Caleb off about an hour ago to load the buses down to the start.

I'm so proud of him. He has worked so hard for this day. His goal for NY was to qualify for Boston....and he did with a time of 3:09 which qualified him for a race that was already full and lo and behold qualifying time was changed to sub 3:05. Back at the grind. He worked hard and qualified in a miserable rainy Dallas in 2011 for today. Since then the man has been so disciplined. He gets up at 5 am 6 mornings a week to run. The freezing cold or muggy warm Dallas weather doesn't stop him. He gets up that early not because he runs for 3 hours every morning. He gets up that early so that he can be home for our morning breakfast date at 645 and then spend a good 45 mins with Carter before leaving for work. What a family man :).

So, no matter what happens today I hope he has the time of his life. The oldest and most prestigious marathon is literally at his footsteps today. He's earned it. And thankfully I married the awesome athlete of a man so I can sit here in my pjs and drink coffee and watch the Today show before trotting off to visit Harvard before catching him at mile 21!

So glad I joined him. Isaac is doing awesome and enjoying the sights of Boston right along with us. Here are some pics from the trusty phone this far:
