Sara (Joe's wife) came to cheer us on along with Andy and the kids and Katie and her kids. We had quite the cheering squad even though we never saw each other!

After the race we went to the Children's museum with Lisa's family and then they came to stay at our house for the night. It was tons of fun and we hated to see them all leave.
Andy is always so good to support me in my running adventures. He got the kids ready and fed and out in the cold to cheer me on. It was a lot of work and effort. I took this picture of him sleeping at the Children's museum after the race. I think the mini marathon wore him out!!

Great job Amy! Sounds like a great race! What an accomplishment and how fun that Eric ran it with you!
Great recap of your race--I love how your medals have the black and white checkered flags on them--very Indianapolis! Awesome job Amy! You should feel so proud of yourself!
Amy--
That is awesome! Good for you!!! That is amazing....perhaps some day we can run together! I miss you a ton!!!
Thank you for letting us come. We had such a great time. You did an amazing job. I am tempted to come back next year and run it.
Way to go!
I remember going to that same Children's Museum with my cousins when we were kids and loving it. Do they still have the room where you get to dress up like firemen?
Hooray! Congrats again. What a huge accomplishment!
I loved the recap.
