St. Jarj

I went down to St. George this past weekend. Matt ran the marathon down there, so it was fun to go and support him. He trained really hard for the race, and I'm very proud of him. He did great in spite of the horrible weather on the day of the race. It was really cold and rainy all day long, so that made it extra difficult for all the runners. I failed to get a good shot of him crossing the finish line, but here are a few shots I took right after he finished. It's funny, the weather was really nice the day before and the day after the race. We were even able to go swimming on Friday but were shivering in the cold on Saturday.

Isaac and Luke, drenched. Poor little guys.

Here's Matt telling stories of his gnarly marathon experience to his captive audience:

MATT: "So then I passed by this runner chick who decided to take a bathroom break in front of everybody, just a few feet from the side of the road!"

ISAAC: "Really Dad, right in front of everyone?!"

MATT: "Son, you know this."



So it was a great time down in St. Jarj. Watching Matt finish the marathon has even inspired me to sign up for the 1/2 marathon in Ogden. I think Ogden has its marathon in the Spring. We'll see.
