St. George Marathon

Aaron got in to the St. George Marathon this year. So we headed down with Jeff and Nicole's group. We got to stay with them in their condo and enjoyed the warm weather, lots of good food/treats, games, swimming.

The race went pretty well for Aaron. He had spent time preparing this summer, but hadn't been able to run as much since the move. He wasn't feeling as prepared as he would've liked, but he was ready and excited to run. He ended up running the race in 4 hr. 7 min. Of course, he still thinks it sucks, but we were so proud of him and excited for how awesome he did. We set up to see him (and Jeff, their nephew, and his wife) at about mile 23. They were pretty dead by then, but Aaron still stopped to say hi and pose!
I had thought at one point in time that it would be fun to do a marathon. I have officially decided that I never want to. It took Aaron most of the day to get to feeling back to normal. But, he's crazy and wants to do it again!

Us ladies did a little Mayor's Walk the morning of the race. It was such a beautiful morning for a nice walk, and we got scones at the end. That's my kind of "race!"
