Congrats to Preston, Meranda and Katie

After months of dedicated training, the Marathon was finally here! Unfortunately, the weather didn't cooperate much. They endured, rain, hail, thunder and lighting. By the end of the race, their shoes and clothes were completely soaked! But they finished!

It was crazy that we left WVC at 7:45 a.m. stopped at McDonalds and were on the freeway by 8 --they had already been running for an hour. We headed to Nibley, Utah - Mile 17. It was raining hard! There were so many runners it was insane. We got there in time to see our runners - first Meranda and then Preston and Katie.

Then back in the car to Providence - Mile 21. They were still going strong.

Mile 23 - still plugging along - just like the Ever Ready Bunny....

Next stop the finish line. Each runner was announced as they crossed the finish line (electronic chips in their "bibs"). First Meranda at 4 hours 50 minutes and then Preston and Katie and 4 hours 58 minutes. We are so proud of them! They are awesome.

Meranda said "shoot me". Preston said "What was I thinking" and Katie said "Never again!"
What a great day and a great accomplishment for each of them!!!!!

(p.s. - yes my camera sucks.....I think I need a new one)
