A Marathon Weekend
Here are some pictures of our trip to St. George and Las Vegas.
The St. George temple:
At the Expo picking up my race bib the day before:
Checking out the finish line on Friday... getting pumped:
Me and Joni at the starting line (yep, I stole a proof pic from the website). It was abt 32 degrees at the starting line so we were very cold! We stripped off some of our clothes at the VERY last second. The rest of the layers we just threw on side of the road as we ran. The race officials picked them up for us. It was so much fun being with Joni. She is a great runner and a special friend!
Coming into the last quarter mile stretch:
Getting ready to actually cross the finish line:
What a feeling!
The sea of people after the race:
Two kids later, I finally conquered this marathon.
After cleaning up and eating at Cafe Rio (a Utah favorite), we headed down to Las Vegas. We stayed at the Trump Towers.
We even saw a show called Le Reve. It is a really beautiful and awesome water show with acrobats, etc.
Here he is, THE BEST HUSBAND EVER!! He was an amazing supporter the entire weekend. It was fun to celebrate in Vegas with him. Here we are out to dinner before the show:
And these wonderful faces:
It was a successful trip!

A Big Goal, and A Big Thank You!
I love my family and thank them for being so supportive of my goal to complete 26.2 miles. I will be running the St. George marathon on Saturday. I can't promise a Boston qualifying time but I can promise to be grateful for my family every step of the way!
I love this guy. He has been my number one supporter. I can't wait to kiss him at the finish line!
McKenzie and Brynn have been such good sports about riding in the jogging stroller. They have endured many miles. Thank goodness for treats!
I can't forget to say "Thank You!"to my mom. She has also cheered me on and been there for me and my family. She has spent several Saturdays at our place helping out with the kids. We love her visits and support.
" If you want to win something, run 100 meters. If you want to experience something, run a marathon." -Emil Zatopek, Czech runner
