Toddy's 250th Marathon!!
Today Toddy ran his 250th Marathon in Frederick, Maryland! As you can see, he ran barefoot!
I made a little sign (on the right) for Toddy to wear to let other runners to know today is a special event! The race organizers even gave Toddy the number "250" to wear for his special day!
It poured rain for most of the day -- but Toddy did Great, pacing in a group of half-marathon runners and finishing his full marathon in 4:47:48. See his exciting finish below!
As a founding member of "Team Toddy", it is always terrific fun for me to cheer on all the runners from the sidelines!
CONGRATULATIONS TODDY on completing your 250th MARATHON!!! I'm So Proud of You!!!

Before we left, I decorated my car in Toddy's honor.
