What were you doing before 9am yesterday? We had been awake for 6 hours and had run 13.1 miles...no biggie! Just kidding. Ryan, my dad, my sister (Bethany), and I ran the Utah Valley Half Marathon. Ryan finished in an amazing 1hr 37min. He barely beat the rest of us who came in at 2hrs 57min. Not bad for running only a handful of times before the race.
Alyssa watched the kids while we were running then met us at the finish line.
This was Ryan and my second half marathon and Bethany and Dad's first. (My dad ran a full marathon in 2005.)
Bethany in a little pain.
Dad came down just for the race. 
My rewards: Free Creamies and a medal for finishing...but I really just wanted the Creamies.
Beth made us shirts.
