Just Look at My Man Go!


A few months ago, Jared started training for his first ever half-marathon. I knew it would happen. Whenever he sets a goal for himself, he accomplishes it.
I slowly watched as he began his training schedule. First he started running 5 miles, than 7, than 10. . . until finally he did it!
He ran all 13.1 miles of the Spanish Fork Half-Marathon.
AND he wasn't even out of breath when he finished!!!
He had set a goal for himself of what time he wanted to run it in and you know what!? He came in WAY AHEAD of what he said he wanted to do. Of course he did-he's amazing!

The kids were so excited to cheer him on at the finish line (everybody, but Chloe. SHE wanted to get down and run!)


And thanks so my super sister-in-law, otherwise known as Shane's Angie, we had an amazing poster to hold up while we cheered!
My little brother Marky also ran it and we had fun cheering him on too!

And SOON all be posting about his full Marathon (he's already set a goal to run one).
