After the race, we took the afternoon to rest and clean up before a little night of celebrating! First stop was an Irish pub to meet our friend Alison. Alison trains with our group in London but she is between races, so just came to watch and cheer in Paris! Can you see the little Eiffel Towers on her dress? So cute and funny.
Next stop - dinner!! We had pizza nearby and a lovely bottle of bubbly to celebrate our big day!
This seems like an Amy picture-fest, right? We just kept taking turns taking photos for each other, so we don't have many together! After dinner we met up with our friends Mike and Dan for dessert. They also came to Paris for the weekend to cheer us on. Mike had trained a little bit with Laura and joined us on our last long run - he ran the London Marathon a week after we ran Paris. We had crepes for dessert, because when in Paris - why not?
On the way back to the hotel, we were lucky enough to see the sparkling lights on the Eiffel Tower, so we stopped for one more photo op.
I always love Paris and this trip was no exception. Will definitely be back to do this race again!!
