Last weekend we went down to St. George to watch Roger's mom, Dixie, briskly walk her first marathon. It was rainy most of the morning which is very unlike St. George weather. I made sure to give my dad a hard time because he does every time he's up in Northern Utah and we have less than perfect weather up here. She finished in just under 7 hours which is a great accomplishment. We were so proud of her!
Almost there...
Crossing the finish line!
Getting her medal...Roger considers this the most important part of a marathon. (He wore his for at least 2 days after the Top of Utah Marathon and he would have worn it longer if I would have let him.)
All the Dixie Kids (except for Irving - he had to work) in our matching shirts!
Dixie is an inspiration!
ReplyDeleteThat is amazing!! Seth's mom ran a marathon and though we were so impressed, I don't think we ever would. :) your mom and Roger are amazing. And once you're all healed up, I'm sure you'll tackle that event as well! Have a great weekend!
