OGDEN MARATHON

Couldn't have done it with out the support of friends and family!


THANK YOU.



What a day! We left home at 4:00 and headed to Ogden. We caught our bus and headed towards Huntsville. Ogden Canyon on a bus in the dark, that is a weird feeling.



We arrived at the start line around 5:30. (the race starts at 7:00) The crowd kept getting bigger and bigger. Thank Heavens for the fires to keep us warm!


The sun was up by start time which was nice.




Making our way to the start line after the gun had blown! So many people! It took us about 7 minutes from gun time to cross the start line.



The volunteers at the aide stations were awesome! This aide station had a 70's disco theme.



HALF WAY!!!!!!



WE'VE MADE IT 20!!!!!


THERE IT IS!!!!!




What an amazing friend, Andrea stuck with me the entire time! Couldn't have done it without her! My ultimate goal acheived- 1- I finished. 2- I RAN across the finish line and did not need to be carried!



I DID IT!!!!

I'm sorry I wasn't there, Nat. I was cheering you on from Montana though!! I am so proud of you and your accomplishment. Maybe you can run to Montana next? That's just 645 miles more than a marathon. Hmm. Something to think about, right?
