This Blog's for you Dad!!

I'm very excited to post that Chris and I get to go to St. George with my Dad every year for the marathon...that's right, as most of you know, my Dad is crazy/ambitious enough to run the thing! HE IS TRULY MY HERO!! I wish I had 1/13th of his ambition. I say that because this was his 13th finish in the St. George Marathon, that's right folks, 13 TIMES!!!!!!!!!!!!! (that deserves 13 exclamation marks). This year's marathon was this last Saturday on October 4th.
Chris and I enjoy being to able to spend the first weekend in October with him every year. For all of you reading this (sorry Dad, but I have to mention for all of our fellow readers to) please keep in mind that my Dad is 67 years young and is still running this thing!
He likes to joke that pregnant ladies and people on crutches pass him up along the way, but don't be fooled, he can whoop a lot of young people (and does every year!), including me! I have NEVER been able to keep up with my Dad, and that still stands true today.
Just the fact that he signs up for, and begins the marathon is amazing to me, let alone the fact that he has been able to finish it 13 times! He never gives himself credit where credit is due, so a BIG HOORAY to you DAD, you deserve it!!
My Dad is amazing and not just because he runs marathons. He's always been such a great example in so many ways, the fact that he is so active and healthy is just icing on the cake! WE'RE SO PROUD OF HIM!!! I'll have Chris post a picture when he can...I don't know how to :)
