St. George Marathon

Over the weekend we headed down to St. George so Ryan could run in the marathon. It was a fun trip and nice to get away for a few days. It was also pretty nice to stay in a hotel this year instead of a rainy campground. Lauren even participated in her first "race," actually it was the Mayor's Walk so I'm not sure that really qualifies as a race. She did great though, just slept in her stroller the whole time while I pushed. When we made back to the finish line to watch for Ryan we were worried that we had missed him so we went down to the end to go find him. We looked for about 45 minutes and couldn't find him anywhere. I could have kicked myself for not arranging a place to meet before hand. Ryan's dad and I even checked the injury list and first aid tent because we were so sure that he had to have come in already. Luckily we saw him just as he was coming through the shoot. He ran out of steam early and had to walk a lot of the last few miles, but he finished! It was way slower than his previous time but that's okay. I was so excited that we found him that I didn't get any pictures; but we got some of Lauren in her race day shirt :)


Ryan got pretty tired on the way home, so we decided to let Lauren take the wheel.
