Nick and Jessie getting ready:
The Kathi Christ Memorial Crew:
Somewhere up ahead is the starting line. I think we walked half a mile before we saw it.
Jessie's uncle Brian in the hot pink wig, Kathi's brother, his son Michael and his girlfriend.
Elitch Gardens across the way:
Oh! There's the starting line!
Booby balloons (no, really, they have nipples!)
Making the first turn:
Past Invesco
Mile 2 (at Invesco)

It wasn't until we made the last big curve that you really got a sense of what 50,000 people really looks like.
I didn't know the people in front of us, but I did know Marla. She attended Littleton Church of Christ with her huband and three children. Her youngest was just 2 when she passed.
Looking behind us, there are still hordes crossing over I-25.
Mile 3!
At the end
And then back to the McKnights for a wonderful brunch. Nick comes bearing muffins.
And the Broncos Game
Brian working the waffles
The big spread: biscuits and gravy, cinnamon buns, breakfast tacos, waffles, bacon, fruit, and muffins. Any calories we might have burned off this morning are pointless :)
