Ogden Marathon

The Ogden Marathon has become somewhat of a tradition for the whole family. If you're not running in one of the races, you're volunteering at the water station at mile 7, or driving around from place to place to support the runners. The day starts at 4:00am for most of us, and although it's early, you can't help but take in the beauty as the morning hours roll in.
Tyler and my Dad, Kevin, ran the full marathon and Camille, my sister-in-law, and I ran the 1/2 marathon. Having completed the full in 2007 I can tell ya that the 1/2 was wonderful! Tyler signed up for the marathon only a week before the race and probably put in 10 miles of training that week..."10 miles and one week of training is NOT enough" he said, but he made it to the end! Way to go T! Dad has some muscle tightness that he fought the whole way but still completed the race! Camille pushed the pace on the half and came in just over 2 hours, awesome run girl!
Thank you so much to everyone that supported us during the run, it really makes all the difference having you there!

The Biggest Looser

As some of you may know, Tyler and I, are huge fans of the Biggest Looser. We just finding it to be a positive, motivating, and encouraging show that no matter what fitness level you're at it makes you want to do more. WE LOVE IT!
Well, before we took off to China we stayed a night in L.A. after a long walk along the coast we finally reach the Santa Monica Pier and headed in the Bubba Gump Shrimp for dinner. You'll never guess who walked in behind us...




Helen from the current season (7) of the biggest looser!!! Tyler is that one that put it all together and we finally worked up the courage to go tell her congratulations. We ended up talking to her and her husband for at least 20 minutes. They were both so cool, they just had so much to say. The last episode that had aired was the 1/2 marathon, which they said was over Christmas. From what she was able to say, we think we saw her the day after the full marathon. I can't believe she won it all! Way to go Helen!
