112th Boston Marathon

My sister in laws are all amazing women. All 6 of them are awe inspiring, incredible women.

One very good example...

I watched Jenn run the Boston Marathon on Monday. Amazing, yes? Aw, but not quite amazing enough for the women in our family! Jenn ran it 4 1/2 months pregnant. She did an incredible job. Due to doctors orders she slowed her pace midway as the weather grew warmer (for a serious runner, slowing down your pace is neither an easy nor a comfortable thing to do), still managing to finish with a 4:07 time.
 

(the front of her shirt) unfortunately spectators kept thinking her name was baby and were shouting "good job baby!" I made the baby its own tiny running bib which jenn pinned to her own.
 

(the back of her shirt) I pointed out that maybe it wasn't so nice to put the sign that says pregnant where all the people who are slower than you can read it...
