Saint George Marathon 2008!

So this will be Mark's 2nd marathon that he has ran in the past 3 weeks. Mark has been training all summer for this one and was excited to beat his record and hopefully record his personal best. The weather conditions this year were awful! It was cold and rainy the entire day. The newspaper said it had not rained on the Saint George Marathon in 25 years! Needless to say Mark went on to get his personal best with a time of 3 hours and 50 minutes!! We are so proud of him and look forward to many more years of running marathons if his feet and knees don't give out. I may try to train and run it myself next year if I can find the time! We were also excited to have Mark's brother Clint and his wife Amy and their family come for the marathon and stay with us a few days. Clint also ran the marathon with Mark and had his personal best time also! The weather cleared up the next day and was a beautiful day! We were able to watch conference at Luke and Jill's and be fed by the spirit and the words of our beloved prophet Thomas S. Monson. I thought there were a lot of exceptional talks this year.
