Ogden Marathon


For the 4th year in a row, we spent the day up at the Ogden Marathon yesterday. Caleb ran the 3rd leg of the relay with his coworkers, which was 5.5 miles and included the only hill on the entire course. Being so busy with his work schedule lately he trained approximately 0 times, but somehow still did good and at least passed the other Tanner guy that was running the same leg as him.

This year we decided to get the kids involved and signed them up for the Kids K. Makelle finished 2nd to last... there were actually quite a few kids in her little age group, but all but two of them got carried or pushed in a stroller, so I was proud of her tiny little legs, running down that course. Corbin was so excited to run in a race and ran the whole time. He told me a lot of kids in his age group started running and then had to slow down and walk for part, but he kept running and passed them. He was pretty darn proud of himself, plus he passed a couple of bigger 6-year-old kids, so he did good :)

It was fun to see them get excited about being active and enjoying being outside. Although, poor little Makelle was out cold, full on asleep before Caleb even started the car to finally head home at about 1:30, so it might have been a bit much for her.
