Not only did you run 100 miles and finish it in a time of 22hrs1minute..... You came 3rd! (1st male in your age group) 🏆 3rd out of 63 people. I couldn't think of a better role model to our boys ❤️🥹 You are and will always be their super hero daddy who runs all these races!🏃♂️ I struggled running with Theo for the last bit 😂 let alone running 100 miles 😅We love you lots and lots with jelly tots on top!🥰 ❤
