Josie's teacher, Ms. Barry, ran the Chicago Marathon this year too. So Josie made her a very special sign with a picture of them together for race day :) She was so proud of her sign & she held it proudly as we watched for her at mile #9. Oh my, the patience she had as we scanned the 45,000 runners looking for her in a yellow neon colored shirt. And it just so happened that so many other runners were in neon yellow too as it was the popular color this year. We waited & we waited & we waited & Josie didn't give up. We told her where we would be standing but she missed us & we missed her. But Josie was just happy to be there cheering with her sign. Which she plans to take to school to give to her as a keepsake :)
