So Proud!

My father-in-law, Craig, is amazing!! He ran the St. George Marathon in 3 hours and 43 minutes!!! We are so very proud of him! He only started running a year ago and decided to train for this marathon. Craig has been so dedicated and motivated and has inspired many of us to accomplish whatever goals we set. He not only finished the marathon (the weather was horrible by the way, really rainy and windy), which I think is an accomplishment in and of itself, but he qualified for the Boston marathon as well! What a guy!!

Just after the race! He's always all smiles!

His sweet wife, Gloria, who has been such a huge support to him!
Aren't they a handsome couple!

Go Craig!!!

It was definitely wet and cold but also exciting...My job was to pass off the "goo" and drink at mile 16 and then scramble to be at the finish line for the finish! Craig said he did it for the kids and grandkids.
