This is it!
Well, only a few more sleeps and the epic day shall arrive. Here's the potential plan for Sunday from what I understand.
1. Dad, Mom, and Joel leave from Rosenort, would it work to bring your van? You'll see why later. (Colleen will drop me off there on our way home from Duluth). Plan to arrive at UofM just after 6:00. By the way, I'll be running with my cel. phone.
2. Gareth picks up Jonathan and they drive to UofM.
3. Everyone meets together at 6:30 at the UofM, on the boulevard at the end of Chancellor Matheson by Univserity Cres. It is imperative that we meet since Jonathan will have our race packet. Please don't forget to pick them up.
4. Race begins - 7:00. Mom is running the half aiming for 12:00/mile, Joel and Gareth are running the full aiming for 11:00/mile, and Jonathan is running the full at Jonathan pace.
5. Dad heads to mile 6 and Colleen, the boys and Kristen meet him there. I think that Colleen can pick you up Kristen. (I would meet where the course gets back on Pembina Highway by Point Road, just after mile 6). They then cheer when they see us.
6. We keep running, and the cheering squad heads back to the UofM to see Mom finish (2:36?). Might I suggest dropping our car off at our church, then going together in the van to UofM?
7. After mom finishes and recovers a bit, the group can then head to mile 20 to cheer the marathoners on.
8. After that, they can head back to the UofM to see us finish.
9. We finish with great fanfare and excitement.
10. Joel dies.
11. Joel revives, eats, stretches. We'll need a ride back to our car at the church, and then everyone heads to Mom & Dads for a party!
12. Kimberly joins us after sleeping.
Sound good?
Peace OUt.
Joel

Don't forget that Kimberly comes back from work, showers, goes out to watch the full marathoners, cheers runners on at mile 12/13ish at PAC, then goes to sleep for about 2 hours, then heads off to Rosenort. Do you guys expect to be at Rosenort around 1:00? I would like to know the ETA if anyone knows it.
Ya, I didn't put in all your detail, so thanks for the update.
I expect to be done before noon, but then will probably take a good 30 minutes to stretch and eat. Then we'll head back to the vehicles, which also takes some time. I would imagine we would be in Rosenort by 1:30, 1:00 seems too early, at least with what I'm planning. That would be my guess.
don't forget to bring the camera dad, so you can take video of us all finishing!! kimberly really needs to see that!!
I will try to remember the camera. I want to wish all you runners the best!! When is the nap scheduled? Don't forget to bring appropriate wear. If it is nice, we plan to put out the water slide and pool.
