Jackson is only 7 and has completed his first Marathon! He walked at school and at home to complete 26 miles and then walked the last half mile at the marathon on Friday night. They divided the kids by grade and sex. So there was a group starting every 15 minutes from 5pm until 7:15pm. There were over 4,000 kids that participated and it was full by February 9th! It was an insanely crazy place but we all had fun and were very proud of our runner.

Look at all of the people that lined the race path.

Ainsleigh and Cooper watching for Jackson. They were very good cheerleaders for their big brother.
Here comes Jackson. This is the only picture I got of him running.
At the finish line, Tennessee Titan football players gave each child a medal. Jackson didn't know which one gave him his medal. The parents couldn't see the finish line. 
The proud parents and our marathon runner.
Look at that cool medal. It is his first!
