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."
