he joined the club

Brennan ran a half marathon about a week ago up in Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin.  My brother-in-law, Rich also ran it, making him and Brennan the newest members of the Cardon half marathon club haha.  Out of the 10 siblings/spouses, 9 of us have run at least one half marathon now.  I will go ahead and take this opportunity to taunt Caleb (the only one yet to run one), even though I am pretty sure he doesn't read this blog.  Come on Caleb, everybody's doing it.  It's time to follow suit. :)

Crystal, Kelbie, and Caden ran the half too. Everyone did a great job. And they had some fantastic cheerleaders. :) The weather was perfect for the runners but a bit chilly for those of us watching.

Caden had quite a bit left to give at end of the race. He surprised us all with quite a sprint to the finish line. I mean check out that blur. :)

They gave out chocolate milkshakes at the finish line. Brennan was nice enough to share his with me and Jade.  It was pretty yummy.  It was a long day, starting at 4 am to get ready to make the drive up to Wisconsin, but it was fun to cheer everyone on.  We also stopped at Galena, Illinois, on our way home.  It's just a little tourist trap but it was fun to check out some of the shops. I wouldn't mind going back sometime when it's not a crazy packed Saturday.

Good job Brennan! And Crystal, Rich, Kelbie, and Caden!
