A couple who runs together...
Some people don't understand why we run...It takes a bit of craziness I must admit but it works for us :)
Even though we don't run the same pace; it's fun to run in the same races and work toward similar goals.
I ran the 1/2 marathon with my great friends Tamara, Jessica and Leesa
I finished with a 1:48.44
As for the other girls...let's just say I love having them cheer me in at the end :) They are AMAZING!!!
Matt ran the full Marathon in 3:27.25!!! WAHOO!
A HUGE PR from his
1st Marathon of 4:15!
The kids teased me for getting choked up when he came running in...How could I not? I am SO PROUD of him! It was so inspiring to watch the determination and strength he had as he finished!
There was a big head wind (20 mph) coming down the canyon which slowed everyone down by 8-10 minutes; and he STILL did AMAZING!
Matt looks forward to doing even better at the St. George Marathon in October to reach his Boston qualifying time of 3:15.
Thomas, Jac and Emily were waiting at the finish line cheering us both in! It was so great to have them there! THANKS KIDS :)
We got lucky to share the day with some of our Heaps nieces and nephews:
BT and Lauren, Dave and Abi, and Abe. It was a first for all of them and they did great!
Grandma and Grandpa Heaps also came to cheer us in. It was a very fun day!
Now on to more craziness...St. George, here we come!
