St. George Half Marathon

The first weekend of November we went down to St. George with some awesome friends/neighbors in our ward. The pictures are more fun so I will be brief. The road trip down and back was awesome, so much fun to just talk and listen to good music with good friends. We stayed with some great people down there and made new friends and learned a new game which we really like (Katie, it's that name game you were trying to describe to me once, after playing a round I realized this is what it was, and it all makes sense now, and is super fun!).

The race was good, perfect temperature, gorgeous views. I ran with Chris ran by himself the whole way and finished first, but Marshall was close behind him. Andrea, who said she was going to run slow with me and Lisa ran with her husband John the whole time instead and he got them to finish in under 2 hours! 1:58, awesome!! Lisa and I are slow, yeah! 2:20. But I wasn't in it for the time, we had a great time just doing it together. Woosy medal, and not that great of food at the finish line, but it was fun to have people cheering you on at the end.

Other things we did: St. George Temple, AMAZING, one of the best times I have been for sure. We met this old couple who were so cool and cute, they asked where we were from and when we said Provo the old man says "Oh man, didn't we just beat them down so good today?!" meaning the football game where we had just crushed...I think UNLV...anyway, in the temple, it was hilarious. We ate more calories than we burned at Red Robin, cupcakes at 5th and Main, custard at Neilsens, and Dominos that night.

Ok, the pictures:

one the bus to the start line!
Andrea and John!
Haha, yes Marshall and Lisa, I think they are trying to do 2010...
So I am pretty sure Lisa here is asking Marshall to kiss her because she wanted all of us to take a group picture all kissing in front of the temple.
But we were the boring-old-married-for-too-long couple on the trip so we didn't participate. No spark left for us... :)
