but this one beats all.
it was family oriented.
it was sun oriented.
it was general conference oriented.
it was great.
friday.
after school we {the roommates} decided to take a trip to sand hollow.
it was much needed.
we soaked up the sun.
we also played in the water.
it was beautiful weather.
friday night.
my family drove down to st. geezy picking me up on the way.
we saw the little mermaid at tuachan.
it was amazing.
the costumes. the special effects. the acting and singing.
all awesome.
saturday morning.
early morning. like really early.
we pulled ourselves out of bed to cheer on my uncle.
he ran the st. george marathon.
we cheered him on at mile 16ish.
then again at mile 26.2
it was a tear jerking experience.
5 runners still stick out in my mind.
the first was one who almost collapsed 50 yards in front of the finish line.
the guy running next to him helped support him to the end.
they didn't know each other.
yet he helped him finish the race.
third was a man who was running with jello legs.
also about 50 yards away from the finish line.
his friend had his arm around him and carried him to the end.
all i can saw we were all fighting the tears.
of course in the back of our mind we were concerned about the 5th runner.
what if he didn't make it.
is he ok. does he need help.
then we saw him.
running strong.
he crossed the finish line 3 hours 14 min after he started his journey.
he qualified for the boston marathon by 1 minute.
he is my hero.
maybe i can be cool like william {my uncle}someday and run like he does.
