The Big Race!

April 21st was the big race day in Salt Lake.  Both the full and half marathons started at the University of Utah with preset routes taking them over different courses through the Salt Lake Valley to the finish line in downtown.  Among the hundreds that started the half marathon at 7:00 a.m. were our son and daughter, Jason and Allison, and Allison's husband Rob.  Allison has been working her way up to the 13.1 miles required and had hit 12 miles during her latest  practice runs.   

We took the girls, Livi and Ana, for a sleepover Friday night with promises that they would be waiting to high five Jason and their parents at the finish line.  They waited
patiently as the racers ran by and then came Dad followed by Mom and Uncle Jason a few minutes later.    

They finished!!!!
