We pulled up to the finish line around 4:30am. We hopped on a bus that took us to the top of Ogden Canyon, and waited there until it was time to start. It was cold, and we were there for a while, but the time when by fast.
The actual race was really pretty. We were on Canyon roads for most of the run, and when we finally did come out of the canyon, we hopped on a fairly shaded trail for the last little bit. It wasn't until the last mile where we had to run on city streets to the City Center for the finish line. Which I was grateful for, because city streets are the worst to run on in the heat! Ben and I stuck together the whole time pushing each other. We walked a few times, but for the most part kept a good steady pace. We weren't sure what our time would be, but we were very excited when it was under 5 hours! We completed the marathon in 4 hours and 50 minutes! Ben cut almost an hour off of his time from before! Way to PR!
**A big Thank You to Uncle RJ & Aunt Janice for watching our girls! ....and letting us stay at their house. The girls had a blast with them.
