Number 1, Number 9489, and a Spectator

Can you believe our luck? We ran into Ambesse Tolosa leaving his hotel as we were leaving Starbucks. We were nervous about asking for a photograph, so we developed a plan which involved Josh lifting Dylan from the stroller and tossing him in the air a few times. Dylan's laughter captured Ambesse's attention and Debra captured the photograph. Ambesse Tolosa won the Honolulu Marathon in 2:13:42. Josh finished a bit later at 5:18:25. Dylan was in awe of Ambesse's 5:06 mile pace, but most impressed by his dad, his uncle, and his grampa, for all finishing the full marathon.
