Top of Utah Marathon

Hooray! Mom and Ken (and Alex) finished the Top of Utah Marathon on the 20th of September! I am so impressed, because I could never do that- not that I'd want to either. Mom finished with a time of 5:51:05.92 which was up about 40 minutes from what she did last year in St. George, but she had injured her hip about six weeks prior putting her training on hold for a while. Ken finished in 3:37:44.80 and said that he was ready to "lose consciousness" at the last mile. He made it though and placed 5th in his age group! Not bad for a 17-year-old kid right? Ken ended up getting a trophy( with a moose on it- he he), but unfortunately his friend Alex finished one minute behind him, and they only give trophies out to 5th place. But I think to say you finished a marathon is trophy enough. Mom was able to give her granddaughter a couple of high-fives along the route which made her extremely happy. Alaina cheered, or at least her shirt did, for Grandma and Uncle Ken too. It was an awesome race and we are so proud of you!

All right, so I have to apologize for not being the greatest blogger. It's taken quite a few proddings from people to finally get this post done. Alaina is doing fantastic and is an absolute joy! She's been smiling and laughing for about 2 weeks now and she's got a pretty fiesty personality. She's also been letting me sleep too- at least 6 hours before she wakes up to eat and then she goes right back to sleep afterward. I absolutely love being a mommy!




Friday my family is coming up for the Top of Utah Marathon on Saturday. Both my mom and my brother are running and we're so excited for them. I'll make sure I don't take too long to post some pictures of that and the results!
