"I'm gonna get you, suckas!" - Melissa

Aren't they adorable! This is Ben and Melissa on Whidbey Island. They just finished running 26.2 miles. Very quickly.

We were professional spectators, seeing them at the 1, 5, 13, 17, 19, 26 mile markers. The morning clouds burned off and it was a beautiful day for a run.

And the rumors are true. A bald eagle circled Melissa as she finished the race.
