He Did It!

Landon ran his first half-marathon on Saturday down at Thanksgiving Point! I was so excited to go and watch him cross the finish line and actually see him accomplish what he has been training for for the last couple of months.

Here is Kinnie ready to cheer him on down the finishing stretch.


Here he comes! #210. It was so motivating to see all of the participants finishing the 13.1 mile race, especially him. It really made me want to train for one. It was neat to think of all of the different kinds of people doing it. Some were young, some were old, some ran it really fast, others really slow, but they all were accomplishing something whether it was easy for them or hard for them.


Landon and his sister Sara. She had done her first one back in the fall and asked Landon if he wanted to do this one with her. It was neat that they were able to do it together.

That was so fun!
Landon was the best running buddy!!
In a way, I'm sad it's over...didn't think i would ever say that.

Thanks for being there, with all the support and cute signs.

Congratulations Landon! You and Landon will have to get a running jogger so you can train together and do a race together when you move - or perhaps it will be a good excuse to come back to Utah and complete a race here!

Who does Justin think he's fooling, lurking in the background like he ran the race?
