A half Marathon and a soccer game

I did it! I did something I honestly never thought I would do. I ran the Ogden 1/2 marathon and liked it! :) My knees are very sore, I walk with a limp, and I have blisters on my feet in strange places, but I did it! 13.1 miles in less than 2 hours. One hour and 53 minutes (45th out 205 for my age group). Not too shabby. I was pretty happy with my time. I ran the 1/2 all by my lonesome (although I made some friends on the bus), but I knew 5 people running the full. 3 had qualifing times for the Boston Marathon and 2 of the ladies are on my same team for the Wasatch Back relay coming up next month. That's going to be a blast!!

Probably my favorite part of the race was having my 4 boys cheering for me as I crossed the finish line. We then had to hurry home to James' last soccer game of the season. He did really well this year. He scored 1 goal and it happened to be the time when Mark was his substitute coach. Many of the kids from our neighborhood were on his team. He is a good little player. He's especially good at defense and stopped the other teams from scoring many goals. T-ball starts up next month for both James and Andrew with Mark and I as their coaches. It should be fun.

I just had to include this cute pic of Caleb. He's just so cute I can't stand it. He's also getting so big. He's not a baby anymore. :(

Andrew's favorite

"Dad, Caleb is my best. He's my favorite. Then Mom is second. James is third, and you are last. That's okay though. Everyone's different."

Caleb vs the markers

Sorry it's so dark. It was a stormy day and the lights were off.

Caleb celebrating his first birthday

I took this video of Caleb on his birthday. I thought it was so stinkin' cute!
