Marathon Madness

In my opinion running a marathon is madness, who would want to run 26 miles for fun?  The answer is my dad!  He ran the Top Of Utah marathon last weekend with a time of 3 hrs. and 33 min. Which is way awesome and he qualified for the Boston marathon which he will be running in the spring.  Even though we think he is sort of crazy we all came out to cheer him on! Here are some pics from the fun day.

Here are some of the supporters!  Max was so excited to see "papa" run that when my dad was done, Max kept saying "I want to see papa run again".  

Getting the umbrellas out for the "rain storm" we thought was coming.  It would rain for about 2 minutes then stop.

Here he is going in for some high-fives from the grandsons

This picture is out of order here he is all finished and smiling! I think it may have to do with the face that he is done and drinking a nice cold Dr. Pepper

Here he is coming up on the finish line making great time!

I think my family loves running, because my uncles came up with the idea to make up their own "Ultra Half-Marathon"  It is ultra because it will actually be 15 miles.  All these runners in my family makes me want to start running and train to do the Ultra Half-Marathon....I'm thinking I may have to wait for next year unless I can walk most of the way!
