TETON DAM MARATHON

It was a very beautiful morning today and a super day for a race. Today was the Teton Dam Marathon and we had family running in that race. So, John and I got up and went over to wish them well at the starting line at 7:30. Christopher and Courtney were running the Half Marathon, Liz ran the 5K and Brittany was running in a relay team for the Marathon. We watched Chrisper and Court take off and then we went and bought groceries. Great fun huh! We went back to the race about 9:20 at the finish line and thought we would be waiting for awhile. But, low and behold here they came at about 9:33. They ran the 13 miles in about 2 hours and 3 minutes. They did really good. I have a way cool picture of them coming across the line but John took my camera home with him and so I will have to post it later. Great job Chrisper and Court. This was their first race and I am so proud of them for making it in such great time. We are all proud of you.

We were there watching Marcy run the half marathon and we were able to see Courtney & Christopher twice. I got a pretty good picture of them.

They set their minds to do it and they DID IT! What great examples to all of us of accomplishing a goal that they set out to do!

Thanks for coming to cheer us on, take our pictures, and see us cross the finish line. Also thanks for the balloons and treat- it's fun to have balloons at our house to remind us of our accomplishment!
I can't wait to see the picture of us crossing the finish line.

Sorry Aunt Jana to use your comment space, but Lindsey wanted me to add her to our blog, but I need her email address... if you could also tell her to add us to theirs that would be great. Thanks
