Snow Canyon Half Marathon 2009

This day was a blast! We talked my sister-in-law, Julie, and Dean's brother-in-law, Rob, and Braden's roommate Randy into running this half marathon with us. We all felt great about our races. I think Julie surprised herself with how well she did. Rob reached his goal, Dean set a PR, and Braden and Erika both knocked 8 minutes off their times from last year on this same course, and Randy, well....Randy just acted happy to be here!

Here are all the runners...Julie, Braden, Dean, Randy, Erika and Rob. Good job guys...we did it!


It was so fun to come around the last corner and see all of Jeff's family cheering us on! Connie was at the finish line taking pictures of us all finishing. Thanks guys


For some strange reason we decided we needed to add back all those calories we just burned off in a single sitting, so we headed to Iceberg.

Both Caitlyn and Amanda called to see how things went. They were both cheering for us from many miles away. How cool is that?!!!


Here we are in our new race shirts. You may not be able to tell, but we all smell a little better in this picture than in the other pictures on this post!

It just doesn't get any better!
