Sharley and I went to Logan and ran the Top of Utah Marathon this weekend. It started out with both of our running watches malfunctioning. Then when we got to the top of the canyon it started to rain. It stopped when we started the race so we thought we would be okay. But then at mile 8 it began to torrentially down pour and then turned into hail. My shoes were a huge puddle that would swoosh. I think my coat that I was wearing had 5 pounds of water in it. At one point I needed to tie my shoes but could barely do it cause my fingers were so frozen. Despite the weather conditions I had the best run of my life. I never walked and kept a 8:45 pace. I finally broke 4 hours with time to spare. I got 3:52:23. So I am very happy. Sharley did awesome too it was her first Marathon and came in at 4:27. We had great spectators along the way. Mom, Jason, Stella and Ruby all braved the weather and cheered us on at 14, 19 and the end. Thank you guys for coming to cheer and give us water along the way!!! Here are some pictures of the end. We don't have any from the race cause it was raining to hard.
