St. George Marathon

Another St. George marathon has come and gone, but another memorable moment! We had a pasta party at our house for the runners to get some carbs in them. It was lots of fun.
The runners this year were Andy and AJ Yergensen, Kris Thacker, and Shawn, and Trish Holmes.  This was AJ’s and Trish’s first marathon! They both kicked some bootie! AJ ran it in 3:21:04 he won the silver shoe award (1st Southern Utah resident in his age group to cross finish line) and got 3rd in his age group. Andy, Shawn, and Trish all ran together for most of it. Andy’s time 4:24:46 Shawn’s time 4:17:25 Trish’s time 4:17:25. They ran to have a good time and to finish strong. They all did and they all survived. Kris ran very well too her time 4:26:44.

Tricia with a thumbs up and Shawn sticking his tongue out!
They don't seem tired at all!

We are always proud of the runners. It is a super long distance of 26.2 miles and all the training that goes into completing one. Way to go runners!
