"I think I'll just go run a marathon"

Okay so I didn't run a marathon, but Brandon did - imagine that. He just decided one day that he wanted to check that off of his "to do" list, so he and his buddy Greg signed up for the Utah Valley Marathon. They trained pretty religiously for a couple of months and Brandon finished his first marathon in 3 hours and 38 minutes. Of course he was disappointed that he didn't finish in less time, but I can't even begin to imagine running 26 miles at an 8 minute mile pace. That is insane to me, but Brandon has always been the slightly more competitive and athletic one in our relationship. No seriously, I really am proud of him for accomplishing his goal.
Me and Brandon right after the marathon. He looks pretty good for just running 26 miles.
Brandon and the girls. It was fun cheering for dad at the finish line.
Ryder was even excited and happy as we all cheered at the finish line.
Brynnley ran the final stretch with Brandon and poor Brookies tried to run it too, but tripped and fell right before the finish. She must take after her mom.
Brandon and Greg. All their hard work paid off in the end. BRAVO!!!! It still doesn't quite motivate me to ever run one though!
