Marathon!

If I wasn't so terrible at blogging, I would've mentioned this a long time ago, but Jonny ran the St. George marathon again!

We drove down the day before and stayed the night in Hurricane with Grandma. Aunt Lexi helped me get Sophie ready for bed that night, and this is what she ended up looking like...

I somehow didn't get a "before" picture of Jonny, but here is Aaron the morning of the race (he was the only other family member who ran):

They went to the DI to get warm clothes to wear at the beginning of the race, and then toss to the side. This year was so warm though, they could've done without them.

Jonny trained better for this one, and we thought he would do great. When he did his 20 mile run, he felt awesome and ran it at a pace that would lead to a 4 hour marathon. We figured with the adrenaline from the race, he could do it in 4 hours, no problem.

Unfortunately, he hurt his knee in the race :( The poor guy was in so much pain. He walked the last 6 or so miles, and he was so disappointed. I was still very proud of him though, because even though he had to walk that much he still did well :)

He is still having problems with his knee, so he's been taking it pretty easy. He plans on running another marathon though! We think if he does one that doesn't have as much downhill, it won't be so bad on his knees. He's determined to get under the 4 hour mark!
