We did it!!!
We had the Ogden Marathon Relay on Saturday and it was wonderful. We went up Friday night with my mom and dad and then Nick and Megan met us later that night. We all stayed in the Marriott hotel. Hallie and Annie didn't sleep very well so neither did Tyler and I. We had to be awake by 4:30 so we could catch the shuttle to the start line but sweet, little Hallie decided to get up at 3:30 so it was an early morning for everyone. My mom was so great and came and stayed with the girls while we went. Let me start out by how beautiful this course is. If anyone ever wants to run a marathon, this is the one to do! Tyler ran the first leg and did decided to continue on with me on my leg. But about mile 11 his knee was killing him and he had to walk so I continued on without him. But he still managed to make it. Nick and Megan were waiting for me at the 3rd leg and looked quite excited to go. Tyler and I had to take the shuttle back down which took much longer than we thought so I was not able to run with my dad but he seemed to do just fine without me. He by far had the hottest time to run and still was smiling when he crossed the finish line. So all in all Tyler ran 13, I ran 6, Nick and Megan ran 13, and my dad ran 3. It was so much fun and we definitely want to do this again. Maybe next year we can get my mom to run the 3! Oh, I think we ended up doing it in 4 hours, which is pretty awesome for our first race ever!

Congrats!! You should be so proud! Just reading about the race makes me tired. I hope Tyler's knee gets better. I'm glad that you had a good experience with the marathon! You guys ran well even while being sleep deprived, and hurting. Way to go! See ya at the St. George Marathon!
