Ooh-Rah! Marine Corps Half Marathon

Road trip! We rented a car and drove down to Fredericksburg, VA for the Marine Corps Half Marathon last weekend. Ethan and his brother, Matt, ran the 13.1 mile race on a cold, wet Sunday. It was also the First Annual Via Family "Run Against Diabetes". We had T-shirts made for the occasion and donated money to diabetes research. (Diabetes runs in the family). Ethan and Matt wore shirts with the Via patriarch's names on the back.

I met up with Courtney and the kids to watch the race. Here they are waiting for Daddy and Uncle Ethan to run by us.
Here they come!
Racing to the finish line! Official finish time: 1hr41min!
