St. George Marathon 2011

WOW...I don't even know where to begin with this post.  One year ago, my dad ran the St. George marathon for the 25th time.  He came by in tears saying that, "This is it, I'm not running anymore marathons."  So, Taylor jokingly mentioned that he will run it, if dad doesn't.  Fast forward 4 months.. and Taylor officially signed up for the marathon.  Now, being the horrible wife I was, I had VERY little faith in my husband.  He's athletic..but heaven forbid.. 26.2 miles... I never thought he was going to follow through.  Well, he TOTALLY proved me wrong and rocked the marathon.

I'm not kidding I have never been so proud in MY LIFE.  Like getting an A on a hard test doesn't even compare to how proud and happy I was when I saw him.  I'm not going to lie...I got a little teary eyed watching my lover coming running towards me with his thumbs up.  I honestly could not believe that he did it!  Yes, he trained but he will be the first one to admit he could have been better prepared... so we were both a little nervous the night before. 

After he crossed the finish line and we met up, he was so exhausted that he mentally was not there.  I mean he was seriously OUT OF IT.  He went and laid under a tree for about a good 30 minutes and he kept saying, "I love you," over and over again.  I just kept telling him how proud I was and hoping that my lover would come back to life.  

Here I am trying to bring my lover back to life

 The whole crew

 So PROUD of him.  

 On our way home dad and Tay requested a Coke slurpee.  Their wish was my command.

Taylors dad also ran the marathon.  I'm obsessed with this picture.

That night we celebrated dad's 50th and Tays 24th birthday.

In the end it was an unforgettable experience.  I keep telling myself that if Tay can do 26.2 maybe I can do 13.1.  Here's to the SLC Half in April.  Anybody wanna join Taylor and I?!
