Today Mike and I ran the St. George Marathon for the 4th time (yes, I know we are crazy). We both battled injuries within the last 2 months, Mike's was the I T Band, and I had bursitis in my hip. Mike got a cortisone injection in his left knee 2 months ago and I had one in my right hip about 2 weeks ago (we must be getting old). Last year it rained the entire run, but this year the weather was great. We trained together and planned on running together, which we did until about mile19, but sometimes you have a great run and other days you don't. I am happy to say that I had a great run this year! Mike's time was 4:11:56 and mine was 4:01:49 (woo hoo!). At this time we are both saying we will never do it again. Hmmmmmmm...seems like we've said that same thing before:)
Ahhhhhhh, we're done. Bring on the ice and ibuprofen.
Noah and Maddie made posters for us.
Let me apologize ahead of time, I know all feet, except baby feet, are ugly, but this was my battle wound for the day. I have never lost a toenail, but I have had a few blisters, nothing this bad. My foot was burning and I had a clear blister when I put vaseline on about mile 18, but I was sure surprised to see this when I got home. It's a good one!

Way to go! You are awesome!
You rock sister. Woo hoo- PR! That is the greatest feeling when you are done. I thought about you all morning. I went for a run at the same time you guys were running. I ran 1/4 of a marathon as an ode to my 4 friends running. I pray that next year I have a "good run"like you did. You are awesome:)
One very ugly blister but one pretty amazing accomplishment! Way to go.
You guys are amazing!! Crazy...but amazing!
