October 3rd, 2009 was the St. George Marathon. I trained for the last 9 months with one of my young woman and ran and completed it for the second time in my life. I was 14 the last time I ran it, but I trained and ran it faster this time around. My family came and saw me at mile marker 16 in Snow Canyon. My sweet husband tried to get up there to see me but the darn police wouldn't let him park any closer to the top so he had to try and run up and meet me. To my dismay, he missed me and I totally missed seeing him. I was excited to see my family, but when I didn't see my personal giant, I was sad. I continued to run and at mile marker 25 I saw my personal giant, the love of my life and my little Major giant. There cheering me on. Andy ran with me to the finish line and helped encourage me to keep going. I love him so much and appreciate all of the support he comintues to give me in everything that I do. My family was there cheering me on and for the first time, my dad watched someone in our family run through the finish line, instead of him running through the finish line. I think it was pretty weird for him to be on that end of the race. It was a beautiful day to run the marathon.
