The main motivation for our trip was to come and cheer for my best-friend, Jennifer Schneider,
as she ran in the Go! St. Louis ½ Marathon. She ran the hot, hilly 13.1 miles in honor of her mom with the Team in Training, Leukemia/Lymphoma Society.
This might sound silly, but I don't know if I've ever been more proud of her as she jogged past our little cheering squad at mile 9—all smiles and waves.
Cheering squad: Kristin, Adam, Jessica, (Jennifer) Theresa, Jeff and Clayton
After the race, Jennifer & Jeff were so thoughtful (brave?) to have everyone out to their house in Warrenton for lunch, dinner and lots of playing.
In all, there were 7 kids running around that afternoon. I thought it was so neat to see them interacting since we were all so close growing up/ high school.

Looking amazing at mile 9!
