SLC Marathon

This year Jason signed up to do the Utah Grand Slam. The requirments are to run 4 marathons: Ogden, Logan(Top of Utah), Park City or Salt Lake City and St. George. At the completion of all 4 of these marathons they have a special awards ceremony where those that finished recieve a special medal in honor of their accomplishment. He ran the Death Valley Marathon in February, but the Salt Lake City Marathon was his first one in the Grand Slam. He finished in 5:18 which was a huge disappointment for him but we were extremely proud of him for finishing the marathon. The wind was absolutely terrible that day and was a huge complaint among nearly all of the runners. Jason said that some of the runners were even running with their heads down to try and avoid it as much as possible. We were actually kind of glad that he finished late because the kids and I went out to our car to drive the 3 miles to the finish line at the Gateway and our van had a flat tire so we ended up having to book it down North Temple from Redwood Road to 400 West and barely made it in time to hear the anouncer call his name and see him cross the finish line. Hence the lack of pre-finish line pics. We are so proud of you babe! Way to go!
