A few weeks ago J ran the Top of Utah Marathon (I ran a 5K with my cute niece, Kate. Her first race!) Here we are at 3am ready to head out the door.
Just after picking up his swag bag and before boarding the bus to take him to the top of the canyon. He was looking a little nervous to me but he said he was just excited.
Mile 20. Looking and feeling like he was going to die! The altitude and pavement pounding on his feet were killing him at this point.
Half of his cheering section (l-r: my neice, Kate, me, my sister, Sarah)
The other half of his cheering section (J's Mom, Noah and Vale-not pictured)
He did it and has the medal to prove it! :)
He had a great time cruising the first 20 miles. Then it was survival the last 6. Those last 6 took him an hour and a half! His pace average was 10:19. Overall he had a great time and finished in the middle of his division.
