Dam Marathon



This weekend, all of my family came home to run the relay in the dam marathon. We had so much fun. My parents, Lesli, Mike, Michelle and I ran the relay, while Meg ran the half. She did awesome. For those of you who know Rexburg, know Summers hill. That is the dam run I got. It is a straight up hill for about 5.5 miles. I know I can't complain about 5 miles, but let me tell you it was straight up hill. We had a great time and we all ran great. It was fun to do it with my family. My little family was great also. My husband is my biggest support. He thinks I am crazy, but still is there taking pictures and cheering me on. I love them all.

We had a great bbq that night to celebrate father's day. I hope that Jeff and my dad and Father in law had a great day. I love them and am thankful for them all. It was a great weekend.

You guys are awesome. I saw in the paper that you had all raced. What a fun thing for your family! I love the pics...especially the scenery, where have I seen that before??? Oh ya, I was just there only driving because I think it would kill me to run up that hill. Maybe some day in the future...

Way to go Brooke! I think I might have to try running that next year (I'm trying to talk Tara into running it with me). I just got done running the Sawtooth Relay. It was fun doing it with a team. You look so buff in those pictures, and so tan!
