Jeff, his sister, her fiancé, and their dad did the St. Louis Rock & Roll Marathon. It was the inaugural year for the marathon. They all did great!! I got some shots of my runners and some of the more amusing looking runners of the day!

Hilly 100
The Hilly 100 is a bike tour held each year in Southern Indiana. This year, Jeff decided to join his sister and her fiance on the ride. I volunteered at a rest stop and also participated in the photography contest!
This was my rest stop on Day 1 – these guys were obviously participating in the costume contest
The bees loved our honey!

W&S Open
Each year, the Western & Southern Open is held in Cincinnati. Jeff and I had the chance to go this year and we had a great time. We got lucky with the matches we saw. The first match we saw was Sharapova vs. Rodionova. The second match was Federer vs. Del Potro. I got some good action shots of Sharapova. Federer and Del Potro’s match was a bit dark but I got a few of them. Sharapova won this match and went on to win the tournament. Andy Murray ended up winning the male tournament.
