Wet and Wild Marathon

Well, this was a first! It rained the entire St. George Marathon this year. I just kept thinking, "This was the craziest thing I have ever done." I wore a garbage bag for 20 miles. There were times when I felt like I was going to drown. The wind was bad at times also. With the wind and rain my hair was extremely snarly. Doug said I look like I had dreadlocks. It took a lot of conditioner to get it out. Overall the race was fine. I did a 3:58. I was happy with that time, considering the conditions. I felt good and strong at the end. Andrea and Stephen ran it with me this year. Thanks guys!
It was a fun weekend. The kids had a blast swimming as usual. As we do every year we stopped at the farm in Richfield. Grandpa was making up chores for the kids to do. Jaxon and Cydney got a few driving lessons from Grandpa. I have to make sure I hide my keys to the car now. They had a blast!

Congrats! I forgot that Betsy and Steven were there until I saw Steven and Royce in your pictures. My hair gets snarly all the time out here, I think it is the humidity! We are so excited to have you guys come out!
