The fam at the finish line of the Mesa Falls Marathon.
Layne and the kids with his mom. His parents and grandpa came to see him race, too.
Layne at around mile 23. Still going!
Taking a breather after the race. He was starting to feel it in his legs.You'd never believe he went to my mom's and put in fence for the rest of the day.
All summer long Layne has been running like crazy to prepare to run his first marathon. He wasn't sure if he was ready, but ready or not he headed up to Ashton at 3:45 a.m. on Saturday, August 22nd. He started running around 6:45 a.m. and the kids and I headed up to watch him finish. He had hoped to do it in about 3 1/2 hours. At 3 hours 36 min. he ran in. He placed 25th overall out of 231 runners. It was awesome. He amazes me. It is always a special experience for us to be there.
That is amazing!! Congratulations Layne!! I bet it was a beautiful run too. Good for you.
