I agree with Jesse - you look great! I wish I looked that good. Don't know how you guys were able to get up that early AND run a marathon. Your family is amazing! :)

we had a half marathon up here this weekend, too. it ends right across the street from my house. I contemplated doing it this year, but I have crappy knees and can't seem to run more than 3 miles. someday, maybe. I admire him for doing it. Way to go isaac!
