We did it! YEAH! This last weekend we went up to Utah with my parents to run in the Salt Lake City Marathon. It has been so much work and dedication to prepare for the run. We have never done something so difficult physically in our life. Porter said he was about to cry. haha. Anyway, our trip was a blast. Porter was a great sport and listened to me talk about my childhood and show him around all of Orem all weekend. It was so fun to show him that part of my life. We visited so many of our cousins and were able to do a lot of fun things along with run the marathon with Kendra our sister-in-law. Check out our slide show to get the full experience! :) There were 15,000 people competing in different races that day. And a total of 1243 people in the full marathon. Porter and I were pretty happy with how we did for being rookies. We ran together for the first 16 miles but when Porter started to not feel well he told me to go ahead. Our goal was to come in around 4 hours. I came in at 3:50 and Porter at 4:10 so we were pretty excited although we were to the point of exhaustion by the end so we really didn't care. I don't know if we will ever attempt another one but maybe in a few years when we forget how hard it was. Overall it was a really cool experience. Thanks Mom, Dad, and Grandma and Grandpa for taking care of us and making the trip so much fun! We love you guys! Check it out at http://racecenter.com/results/2008/slcm08.htm

Congratulations guys! That is awesome. I have been attempting to run a little bit, but I don't think it is for me. I have the worst endurance. You must have worked so hard for this. I'm sad I missed you at the family party. Hopefully I will get to see you again someday.
