Ryan finally finished the long anticipated marathon. I think he did well at 4 hrs. which is about a 9:00 average mile, especially for his first, but he was disappointed. It is unfortunate that after all that running, he started having IT band trouble just three weeks before the event. He is doing the summer games triathalon in Cedar on the 16th of June and wants to try again for the Top of Utah marathon (Logan) in Sept. He has a wristband from the Ogden with all the split times for his goal time (3 hrs.) and says he is not taking it off until he meets his goal, so cross your fingers!

I can't believe how well he did even with the injury. 4 hours for a first marathon is still a great time. We hope to come and see some of his other events. I'll see you all the end of June!
Brooke gave me the link to your family blog, and I'm loving it! It's great to see pictures of your families and see how you're doing day to day. Congratulations to Ryan for even finishing a marathon!
I would have a heart attack if I ran for 4 min. not 4 hours! I think that's great. Hey, you've had your heart checked for rare defects right? Just had a friend in her 30's get diagnosed with one that 50% of the time kills you before you knew you had it, and then there was Chris Eborn, died in the swim part of the games 2 years ago....not to put a damper on it though. We are looking forward to having you all down.
Sorry, that last one was me.
