Yesturday morning the Dueck clan, Justin and I headed to Winnipeg around 6:15 to watch and participate in the Manitoba Marathon. It was rough gettting up that early since I had only fallen asleep around 1:30 and was up already at 5:30 to start my day! Jared, Shannon, Tyler, Greg, and Justin were all a part of a relay team together. Greg ran their first leg of the relay and then continued on running doing the full marathon! We arrived at Jared's station and the adventure began! Tracy and I got to see all the relay exchanges and this time we made it to the stadium on time to see the finish! Shortly after we arrived at the stadium, Greg came running in ....... he got THIRD place!!!! I could never imagine running 26 miles AND getting in third place doing it! He did an amazing job!!! Congratulations Greg!! A little while later Tyler came across the finish, completing the relay for the team. According to the Winnipeg Free Press they were ranked as being in 6th place! All the guys did such a great job running! Maybe you'll see me out there next year ......... ummmmm YEAH RIGHT!
Below are some pics of the marathon:
