Half Marathon

Yesterday was the Ogden Marathon. Camille ran the half-marathon for the third time in a row and she did awesome. She finished in just under 2 hours. It was a gorgeous day for a race -not too hot and not too cold. She said it was a beautiful run. Pineview was glass and the sky was a brilliant blue. I guess the Ogden Marathon made Runners World magazine's list of top 10 marathons last year and so it filled up really early this year. (So did the half) I'm sure it won't get any better with all those out-of-towners seeing Ogden and the canyon at their best yesterday. It really was a spectacular day.

This is the best shot I could get of Camille nearing the finish line. The lady in front of her just wouldn't get out of the way!

Camille and her friend Tyson with their medals and sore muscles. He never trains even a fraction as much as her but always seems to find a way to beat her. This year he turned it on in the last block and beat her by about 20 seconds. How rude! (In case you're wondering, that big black thing in the background is a climbing wall brought in for the festivities at the finish line. For some reason neither of these two were interested in climbing it.)
