On Friday, September 14, 2007, we traveled up to New York so Chris could run his 10th marathon. We drove to Jersey City, New Jersey and spent the night where we met up with some very good friends of ours, Sarah and Chad Coe. It was so good to see them! Elijah got to meet them for the first time and I think he fell in love with Sarah! He was so good for her! We didn't go into Manhatten because we got there really late, but we had a nice view of lower Manhatten from our hotel room.
On Saturday morning (my birthday!!!) we drove the rest of the way up to Schroon Lake, New York for Chris' 2nd Adirondack Marathon and his 10th marathon. The marathon wasn't until Sunday morning, so we just hung out on Saturday. Chris got his race packet, we checked into our Bed and Breakfast (The Silver Spruce, very nice!) and had a nice lunch with our friend Josh, and his girlfriend, Sheryl. There was a nice spaghetti dinner that was sponsored by the marathon that we went to on Saturday that was very good!
Sunday morning was very cold! The temperature was 34!! Chris loved it though, so it was all good. Chris finished with a time of 3 hours and 18 minutes! He knocked 9 minutes off of his time from last year! He finished 15th overall and Elijah and I are so proud of him! (His friend Josh finished in 3 hours, 8 minutes, came in 6th overall and first in his age group) Chris is now training for his 11th marathon, the Marine Corps Marathon next month in Washington, DC.
We left to go home on Monday and decided that we wanted to spend the next day in Hersey, PA. Hersey was so cool! The streetlights on Chocolate Avenue really are Hersey Kisses!!! Elijah took his first trolley ride and did great! Afterwards, the trolley conductor gave everyone Hersey bars, and he gave Elijah two of them (but of course, Chris and I ate them!)
