Maratona di Roma!

On Sunday, March 22, Rome had a marathon through the city, and FIVE of my teammates and friends ran it!! -- Jimmy, Sam, Chris, and Kanda here in Rome, and also a friend who is on STINT in Salerno: Halley. It was SO FUN to watch the race and cheer on our friends! What a feat-- 26.2 miles throughout a city full of difficult cobblestone streets-- but they did it! :) :) Praise God! :)

Jimmy was the first of our friends to blaze by!!! Woo woo!! (Jimmy is in the pack with the yellow shorts, gray T-shirt, & white headband).

Haha, typical Sam. Having fun and coming up on about mile 24-25 in STYLE. :)

You can see Chris coming over to the side to chat with us for 1 second -- he's right behind the guy in the red/orange shirt.

Here comes Kanda!


Halley, Chris, Jimmy, Sam, & Kanda. Each one of them, just like Gladiators in the Roma Marathon!!!! :)

All 9 of us Rome STINTers-- The fans-- with the signs we created to cheer on our friends, and the runners-- looking victorious! :) :)
