I'm sooo excited to share this with you ... it's finally finished!!! Michael's video from her first marathon at Disney a couple of weeks ago!!!
Now, it's about 15 minutes long - which I know is an eternity for the folks who click on blogs for 5 seconds and then comment (which I do too from time-to-time). But if you've got a few minutes, please watch it in it's entirety. I spent a lot of time editing it ... and frankly, I'm kinda proud of it! But not nearly as proud as I am of Michael and what an amazing job she did in Orlando! Plus it gives you a chance to see her on video ... which 'til now was mostly in pictures. And yes, you'll have to deal with me too - but thankfully it's not much of my ugly mug, just voice mostly!
So without further adieu ... Michael's first marathon video!!! (spoiler alert ... you might tear up at the end) Enjoy!!!
You can also watch at YouTube at this link ...

Great Video Jim. It is so obvious how proud you are of her. I followed both of you as you ran. I know that she was so happy to have you along. You are a great couple.
ReplyDeleteThat was beyond sweet. What a cool keepsake. Congrats Michael!!
ReplyDeleteGreat video! Congrats Michael!
ReplyDeleteAmazing. She's a lucky girl to have been able to this whole thing by your side. So so cool!
ReplyDeleteI'm convinced that you and Michael smile and dance your way everywhere you go. What a great video. Congrats to both of you. I've also decided that anyone who doesn't get emotional when watching people finish a marathon has NO HEART! hehe.
ReplyDeletewhat a wonderful and sweet video!!!this was just plain and simple awesomeness!
ReplyDeletei dont think michael ever stopped smiling-even during water stops and stretching out calves...loved the pictures at the end of the two of you,what a great looking couple!!!
GREAT JOB MICHAEL! (and you too jim,for being there and supporting 110%!!!)
Hey!! That's my friend Michael!! I was only able to watch a few minutes here at work, I'll watch the rest when I get home but that's awesome that she got her own video. Even more awesome that she ran her first marathon!
ReplyDeleteSweetie you are the best....even though you showed the world my embarassing dance moves, my morning hair, my ugly cry, etc.....you still gave me lasting memories forever. I love you! Your video is amazing! You are the best husband anyone could ask for.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jim for the amazing video. It gave me a chance to see what my beautiful daughter and your wife is capable of . By watching the video, I almost feel as if I were there watching her do this amazing thing.
ReplyDeleteIt's wonderful that you encourage and support her so much. Thank you.
So that's what you two sounds like. I always imagined you sounding much different.
ReplyDeleteFreaking awesome.
ReplyDeleteCongrats Michael.
btw - I have moved to

Wow, that was just plain lovely. I could feel Michael's nervousness and excitement. She will cherish this video forever. Congratulations again, Michael. Nothing can ever take away your accomplishment.
ReplyDeletewow...you guys are a great team! amazing...cried some big tears!! Congrats Michael and welcome to the club.
ReplyDeleteThis is so awesome...congrats again Michael!
ReplyDeleteSo just happened upon your blog (and now a new follower)...saw the video and decided to commit the 15 minutes. That was ABSOLUTELY the sweetest thing ever...and I'll admit I got a little teary eyed...would you mind if I put that link on one of my posts? I loved it and congrats to MICHAEL!!!! so awesome. LOVED the choir in disney...which one was that?
ReplyDeleteWhat type of computer or software did you use to make that?
ReplyDeleteOh My Goodness!!! That was so awesome. I can't believe how emotional I got watching that. I LOVED the music, I LOVED the choir singing on the sidelines. I LOVED Michael's dancing. She seemed so calm through the whole ordeal. What a great treasure you made for her and what a positive support you were, to be there by her side every step of the way. Someday I will run a marathon and watching this makes me feel like maybe I can. Thank you for sharing your wife's awesome adventure with us. She's a hero in my eyes.
ReplyDeleteok I am just 5 sec into it, just had to say GREAT choice for 1st song. LOVE it!
ReplyDeleteok I will be back, I am watching the whole thing of course
oh boy..let me get my 5th tissue here...ok...you my friend the great Jim are awesome. You are a good man and fantastic husband. You should get a lifetime free pass at any kind of beard for this. What a sweet thing to do. And you did a great job, I love it. The best present for her I am sure. I get support from Bill at every race, he gets up, he brings the kids, he takes pictures and that means everything to me. you went beyond all that, you were there for the whole 26.2 miles! thank you for sharing all that with us!
ReplyDeleteI sat at my desk and watched it! :) Awesome video Jim! What a great keepsake for Michael too!
ReplyDeleteAmazingly awesome!!! I watched this on my " lunch break" with my fiend Annette, who watched it the night before and told me about your blog! We were supposed to be doing "core work".. Oh well...so inspiring...so uplifting...and oh so entertaining!!!

Awesome Job Michael!!!! Great video Jim. Made with love for sure!
ReplyDeleteWow, that is an amazing video! I second what Caroline said about the free beard pass. I love first marathon stories, but I'd never seen one on video before.
