Run, Carl, RUN!

This past Monday Carl accomplished a great feat...he ran the (in)famous Boston Marathon (26.2 miles)! Known for it's grueling course ending with "heartbreak hill", Boston is one of the most well-known marathons where competitors come from literally around the world.  Carl was privileged to get the chance to run Boston through the Wounded Warrior program.  This was Carl's second marathon and praise the Lord he made it through with a stellar time of 3 hours and 51 minutes!  Though Will and I were able to see him at a couple of points through the race, I couldn't get any pictures through the madness and many runners. Literally millions of people show up for this race and bystanders cheer the runners along throughout the entire course.  Anyhow, here are some shots I got off the marathon website (notice the "proof" label).  Carl did a phenomenal job and we are so proud of him!


Look at that smile!  What relief to be done with that!
