Top of Utah Marathon

Mike ran the Top of Utah Marathon in Logan this morning. He was crazy enough to run only a week after his last marathon. Anyways he finished in 3:19:39. He came in 104 out of 2600 plus runners. I think he also was like 17th out of his age group. He managed to shave off 20 minutes from the last time he ran this marathon 2 years ago.

We went to Logan last night and picked up his running packet. Then we went to Jenny and Rogers and spent the night. This morning we got up at 4 am so we could be in Logan in time for Mike to catch the bus to the start line. I had made a nice little bed in the back of the SUV so I went back to sleep until about 7:30 am.

Anyways... Mike did well on this race. He tried to take it easy because he doesn't want to mess anything up before St. George in a couple weeks. We are hoping he will qualify for Boston with that race. Mikes parents also came and watched him finish along with Bob and April from the Mustang Club. It is always nice when Mike has a cheering section... especially since I am too shy to really cheer for him. I also remembered to put batteries in the camera so I got pictures. Woohoo!

If he ever runs this again you'll have to tell me. The race goes right by my house in Providence :) Congrats on running the race!

Travis is trying to talk me into entering that.. He did it a couple years ago and wants us to do it together.. I say hell no I would die!
I cant believe people actually pay to do it.
