Utah Valley Marathon
On June 13th, 2009 Emily successfully completed her first marathon. She completed the 26.2 miles in an unofficial time of 4 hours 24 minutes and 33 seconds. Quite a few family members traveled to Provo to cheer her on. Every time we saw her through out the race, she still had a smile on her face. I wish I could say the same about the other thousand people in the race. We cheered her on through mile markers 10, 14, 18, 20 & the finish. Emily's uncle ran as well and after completing his 39th marathon he said that this was one of the toughest races he has participated in and that he had never seen so many people walking. Emily has been training for a long time and all of it finally paid off. She can say that she has done a marathon; something that most people won't ever do in a lifetime. When Emily gets her mind set on something, she never fails. Way to go Em!!!
