Top of Utah Marathon

Evan and my races are a little off this year.  On Friday night we went to a good friend's wedding receptions (congrats Bryce and Heather!), then left for Logan for the weekend.  We stayed at Evan's sisters house with a few other friends that night, then the boys woke up at 4 to go run a marathon!

I didn't know, but the TOU ranks it's runners. Since Evan's sister is pretty well connected in the community, she had the pleasure of hosting the number one guy and number one girl in her extra apartment.  I don't think it intimidated the guys because they did awesome.

From the finish line, you could see where the runners would come around a corner so I ran my own 50 yard dash to catch one tired man...


Then I ran back to the finish line to cheer him on.  He had a great little fan club there for him. His sister Gaylen and three of her kids, and Heidi and Jerry with three of their kids also.  I think the best part was Evan "stole" ice cream sandwiches for all the kids to eat from the runners food area.  He definately won uncle of the year with that move.





After the run we went back to Gaylen's and Evan sat in the river that runs through their yard to cool down his muscles and clean off his bloody foot/toe nail, of course. He also had a few little friends that would bare the cold water with him.
