My runners....

This last Saturday was the Ogden Marathon.  It turned out to be a perfect day.  Some sunshine, some cloud cover...NO RAIN!!!  Just beautiful!  My BIL and my hubba ran the full marathon.  They did a fantastic job!  I barely caught a couple of pictures of Dan as he was running by to the finish.  He made it just in time to make it to his daughters dance recital just as the lights were dimming for it to begin!  Now that is some great motivation.

 Dan, on his way to the finish.

 You can see his finish time.  Which was actually 4:14 since this clock is from when the gun goes off to start, not when you actually cross the starting line.

 My Kallie girl looking for her dad in his green shirt.  He was getting close and she was helping me look out for him.  I was so emotional.  He started to cramp up really bad around mile 15 and texted me at mile 19 to tell me that he was slowing way down and was cramping.  I am so proud of him for finishing despite his ailments and trials throughout the race.  He injured his foot a couple months ago and it took a while to heal so he wasn't able to train like he wanted to for this marathon.  But he still ran it, and finished!  He is amazing.

Here he comes...green shirt, black hat and sunglasses! That's our Daddy-O!!!!! 

 Kallie got to finish out his race with him.  It was emotional for him and for me to have that take place!  What a great accomplishment and to share it with and set such a great example for Kallie tugged at both our hearts.

 And their off...to finish the finish line.

Bry finished in 4:41 minutes. (I think that was the actual time)
 This was one proud Mama!

But this was not all. We also signed Kallie up for the kids K.  It is a little over .6 miles.  So not only did Bry run his marathon, but about 45 minutes after he finished he ran another .6 miles with Kallie. This was them stretching together to get ready for the Kids K. 

 My two runners! 

{ LOVE }

And she's off!!!!!!  She was so excited to do this and I was just beaming to see them both on their way.  I was glad that they released the kids in waves.  Oldest first on down to the youngest.  They staggered them in about 5 different groups.  The first group, the oldest group, there were a couple kids that got trampled and fell.  It was so sad.  But they got back up and kept going.  That was why I was glad they staggered the age groups.  I was afraid my little 3 year old was gonna fall and get trampled! So glad that didn't happen. 

 This is them coming in to the finish line.  Look how happy and excited she looks!  I couldn't contain myself!  I was so teary I am really glad the pictures turned out because I could not see a single thing I was doing!  
I was so proud of her and Bry for finishing!
I am getting emotional just looking at these pictures and remembering it now! 

She was so cute, she waved to me as she passed.  Had a huge grin on her face! The Kids K finish line was the same as the marathon finish line.  Made it really fun for her to finish in the same place her Daddy finished.

 Thirsty after her run...it ended up being a beautiful, warm day. In fact we all got a little sun kissed from being out there.

 So, so, so proud of these two!  They did a fantastic job and I am glad I was able to be there to support them!

Finally DONE!
