HOBBLE CREEK, UTAH HALF MARATHON

The Half Marathon Group -- August 2009. This is the group on Saturday night eating ice cream. We deserved it after running the half marathon...........next year we all plan on running. Right ?
Cheering section . Come on kaley....run with us next time. It's the "best" !!!


Mommers the Runner !!!! I've been trying to catch her for 34 years !!! Maybe some day.

FINISHED !!!!!! Notice my cheering section.

Denae looks like she is having fun.

Dave did well. Time......1 hour 47 minutes.

We had a great day as twelve of us ran....Mom, Dad, Julie, Denae, Dave, Kim, Emily, and Landon. In addition, Kim's sister Marissa and Julie's Dad, brother Luke, and sister-in-law Emily ran with us. 1,200 runners in all entered the race. The weather was great, the course was absolutely beautiful, and we were all happy to have it over with. However, we are already talking about doing another one and getting the men involed.......like Pete, Chad, Devin, Brett, and Dustin. Angie plans on running, also. We haven't convinced kaley yet as she thinks we are crazy. The pictures below are a start. We will find some more later on.
Brett and Dustin kept popping up during the race to make sure we were all still alive. They had fun, but wanted to run. Next time they will be running.

Here's the "oldest" member of the race team. There were 12 of us in total. Great day !!!

Mommer's is the runner.....time.....1 hour53 minutes......13.1 miles.



Getting tired..........final count 1 hour 59 minutes.........legs tired.



Jill looks so good and having so much fun i had to put the picture in twice.



We are proud of Landon for finishing without any training..........2 hours 29 minutes.
Denae and Emily did well. Emily ran it in 1 hour 58 minutes (beat me) and Denae did it in 2 hours 8 minutes. Don't they look cute and happy the race is over.


Julie is THE runner in our family. She has great form, knows what she is doing, and beat us all. She ran with the "men" in this race as she was in front. Her time was 1 hour 39 minutes.


Emily crossing the bridge as she sees Brett in the distance waiting.

Kimberly finishing strong. Her time 2 hours 7 minutes.
We had tons of fun.............the run was hard........but rewarding. And it was so much fun to have the family there to root us on. Angie even went and got balloons and had some treats at the end of the race. We trained for several months and did it !!!!! Great experience. I would recommend it to anyone.
