Run a marathon...check!

Earlier this year Brandon, for whatever reason, decided that he wanted to run a marathon. Well, apparently he was serious. This weekend we traveled up to Logan to show him our love and support as he ran the "Top of Utah" marathon.
Here we are bright and early at the 18th mile marker waiting to see Brandon pass by.
Not only did he pass by right about the time he was hoping to, but he looked great. What a relief! Just 8.2 more miles to go.
At the finish line, while waiting anxiously we saw some interesting things. Tired runners, barefoot runners, and...

little dogs who ran the entire marathon too. What?!?
Finally, Brandon came. He still looked great, not as energetic as he was at the 18th mile marker, but he was still running.
His final time was 4 hours and 4 minutes. Pretty dang good for his first marathon and having an I.T. Band injury. Good job baby! We love you so much and are very, very proud of you.
