It called for an early wake-up call of 5:20 AM, but it was worth it. Abbie (my roommate) and I were up and making cinnamon rolls and coffee for the 1 hour and 45 min. drive to Mankato this morning. At 6 AM Austin (friend), Abbie and I got into my car and we hit the road at 6:05. Austin took a nap, while Abbie and I tried to stay awake. We arrived in Mankato at 7:50 AM, we even took a quick stop on the way. Jess' parents meet us at the starting line and at 8 AM the race began. Throughout the morning we followed Jess, cheered her and other runners on. We learned new cheers thanks to the running program they gave us. To end the race we cheered Jess on at the 12 mile mark, jumped in the car drove down the road, parked, RAN to the finish line so we could be there ready to record the event of her crossing the finish line. What an exciting day. at 10:02 she was done. We took pictures and we were in the car are our way back to school at 11:05. It was a great morning and Jess did amazing!!
