This weekend Ben and I, my sister Whitney, my dad (no training. last time he ran was in November...), and a friend of ours, Joe , all ran the Salt Lake 1/2 Marathon. It was a beautiful day and perfect running weather. This event is sooo huge. Almost 20 thousand people participate. Between the marathon, 1/2 marathon, 5k and 25k bike ride, that is a lot of peeps! It has such an energy, and I have loved this event. This is our 4th year running. ( last year I walked, Luke was only 6 weeks old.) It was a great weekend and everybody did well.My sister Amy usually runs this with all of us, so we really missed her this year! Next year Amy! :) We did have one hold up. Ben forgot his running shoes......... ya. He figured this out at 10:30 p.m. the night before the race. So, he and my dad and friend Joe went to Walmart, because it was the only place open, and he purchased some cheesy Walmart shoes. Can you imagine the outcome??? Blood and blisters. But, he made it in a decent time. So, I am very proud of him and I'm sure he will never make that mistake again. Here are our pic's:
