Deseret News Marathon


Here is my hubby at the Deseret News Marathon in Salt Lake City.  He was so excited to do this marathon and really wanted to qualify for the Boston Marathon.  The last marathon he ran he was just shy of this goal.  He ran it in 3:24 and you have to run it in 3:15 to qualify.  So he started off this marathon really strong and right on target for the first 13 miles but then his knee gave out and he wasn't even sure if he was going to be able to finish the race.  He had to sit for about 20 min and then hobbled for a bit and finally he was able to trot the last of it.  You can tell by his face he was thoroughly disappointed but he has another marathon coming up so I'm sure he'll be trying again:) I sure do love and admire his sheer determination!!!

So hard but I'm so impressed he's willing to try again. Doesn't sound like fun to me but my boys are loving it as well!

Poor Dennis. I know how bad he must have felt but he sure is a trooper to keep going and finishing. He will qualify of that I have no doubt! Funny thing is even with his knee and 20 minute sit out, he still had a great time.
