Jason completed his first half marathon on Saturday. He LOVED it. Not until a day and a half later I suspect, but he said he's definitely doing it again! So I guess overall it was a great experience! There were quite a few people from our ward that also ran, so he had fun visiting with them before the race, and my brothers also ran it. Jason's official time was 2 hrs 48 sec. I don't remember where exactly he placed, since we don't get the paper with the times. I read it last night at my moms. I do remember he was in the top 3rd overall, 800 something out of 2600 people. And in the top half of his age group. I'll have to get the specifics later. So here are a few pics to document. He's going to kill me for posting the one of him crossing the finish line. He was mid-arm raise and saying hi to me as he crossed and I took the picture...so it's kind of silly. But it's the only one I was able to get of him at the finish. People were coming in so fast, we didn't have time to take more without backing up traffic.
My brothers crossing the finish.
The awesome pic of Jason crossing. YAY!! So proud.
All the boys. Jason didn't ever wear his medal. Stinker. It's actually really cool. He handed it to me and it got shoved in my purse and forgotten about till later.
Hooray!! It's over! He's already looking forward to next year! Maybe I can talk him into doing the full!! Haha....yeah right. He said there's no way.
Congrats Jay!! Couldn't be more proud of you!! Wish I could do it! Maybe some day...
