October 17th marked the date Joel would run his first marathon. After training for many months, this was one day that he was ready for. With a smile on his face and bib number 7748 he made his way through the 26.2 mile course. He had an amazing race, qualifying to run the Boston Marathon if he so chooses. His finishing time was 3:04:29. (Thanks to Mike and Angel for capturing the race on camera.) I couldn't be more proud of his endurance. He did an amazing job of balancing work, family, church, friends, and athletics throughout his training. Way to go Joel, (and Daddy)!
