Ben ran the St. George marathon last weekend. He did great and, thankfully, was able to run across that finish line. Way to go, Ben! We're proud of you!

26.2
I'm always amazed at the determination, motivation, and endurance of those who choose to run marathons. You learn a lot by watching people push themselves both physically and mentally while striving to do their personal best. There are some who finish quickly and make running 26.2 miles look quite easy. There are some who barely break a sweat and look more like they're just out for a morning jog. There are also those whose faces are beet red and they're drenched with sweat from the first mile. It's an emotional thing to stand at the finish line and watch strangers run, stagger, and sometimes crawl over that line.

Wow, what an accomplishment. Very impressed.
ReplyDeleteGood work Ben! I get choked up just thinking about people crossing the finish line. It is a great accomplishment. It is really inspiring to watch. "Watch" being the key word for me! :)
ReplyDeleteWOW!!! 26.2 is A LOT of miles! I'm just hoping one day to do a half marathon...can't even imagine doing a full. Way to go Ben!
ReplyDeleteGood Job Ben! And Happy Birthday! You have water repellent hair?!? The Thomases and Lewises need to get together!
ReplyDeleteWay to go Ben! I just signed up for the Seattle marathon. I guess I'll have to call Ben for some pointers! I've heard the St. George is one of the best.
