Still going strong

Tired and sore - oh so sore - Mom had to smile through it today. The Soldier Field 10 Mile kicked her butt, sure, but she kicked its butt right back.

Mom bettered her pace from shorter races to finish this unprecedented distance in 1:42.13, at a clip of 10:13 per mile. The results are here.

Dad and Levynn somehow missed her in the crowd as she crossed the finish line on Soldier Field's grass but were there to hug her afterward. She deserved it!
