This morning was an early start for the Jessie crew. It was the day for the 1/2 marathon (13.1 miles). Adam began running at 7:00 a.m. The kids and I left the house around 8:00 a.m. and finally were seated at the 50 yard line in Neyland Stadium around 8:30. Carson and Taylor were mesmerized with all of the excitement going on around us. Of course Carson asked where Smokey, the band, and the cheerleaders were going to be, and he was not happy to find out that they were not going to attend today's marathon. Adam finished the race in 2 hours 1 minute. Covenant Health had over 4000 runners today including all the events. It was a great experience. We are hoping Adam's work team did well today, but will not find out results until later. I was so impressed to find out that over half of his coworkers joined in for this. The weather was coolish for the spectators but perfect for the runners. Carson thought that it was his turn to race after his daddy went through the finish line. There is a kid's division which might be a good thing to look in to for next year if he is not too young. Taylor could careless as well as her mom!!!!! Sometimes it's fun just sitting in the stands cheering. Taylor asked why the MC called out "Adam Jessie" over the speaker phone. She wanted him to call out "Daddy". Carson and Taylor both were screaming and shouting daddy as he ran in to the stadium as well as waving. We are proud of him!!!
