Last month Oliver ran the Ogden Marathon {like a good wife...I haven't blogged about it yet}. Due to the fact that he signed up pretty late in the game and working 70 hours per week is not real conducive to marathon training, Oliver only trained for about a month. He did fantastic though, and came in at 4 hours 40 minutes! I was very proud of him. It was very inspiring to see all of the runners cross the finish line; Bethers was even tearing up at one point.
The marathon began at Causey Dam, went along the north side of Pine View, down Ogden Canyon, to Historic 25th.
Here is Oliver at mile 22 {the base of Ogden Canyon}. He is feeling pretty good right here and happy as usual. Ty, Holly, Liv, and Maeve went with me to cheer him on.

Bethers, Mike, Spencer, Sher, and Kenz saved the rest of us spots at the finish line.

26.2 miles and glad it is over.

Oh and thanks soooo much for staying with my kiddos. You guys are the best. Hurry up and have some of your own so that we can return the favor!
You guys love being so healthy.
And it is ridiculous.
So impressed! Oliver is such a go getter! I am sure your life is never dull! I react the same way as Beth when watching marathon runners cross the finish line, the human body is amazing!!
