Doing the Ogden Marathon!

Ok, the Title of this blog is a little deceiving. Alan and I did participate in the Ogden Marathon, but we were on a relay team. We had just a portion of the 26.2 miles, but we sure had a lot of fun. We headed down on Thursday with Randy and Wendy Astin. We got in really late to Pocatello and stayed at Wendy's parents house. Friday we headed to Ogden to get our packets and try to rest before our big day. This picture was taken at Randy's mom's house in Mccammon, Id. It was beautiful! This is Wendy and Randy getting ready to head up to the top of the marathon at 4:00 in the morning. Whoever decided we had to start these things so early. Wendy was doing the full marathon. She is my hero! Randy is preparing for Ironman Cd'a that is next month and he was our first leg of the team marathon.

I can't believe I don't actually look like a zombie here. The team breakdown was Randy (7 miles), Marilyn Gerrard (6 miles), Brad Gerrard (5 miles), Me (5 miles), Alan (3.2 miles) I ended up running the three miles with Alan also. Randy ended up running all 26 miles. He just couldn't do 7. It was a fun event!
