Tyler's marathon!

Tyler trained his BUM off for his first full marathon and completed it on June 8th! He had a training schedule that he followed religiously and would spend hours on Saturdays running his long runs. It is so amazing because a couple of years ago we ran a 5k and Tyler really struggled. He was so sore the next day and now he can go out and run a half marathon like it's not a big deal at all. It's awesome what you can train your body to do and I am so proud of him and his hard work.

On race day we all woke up at the crack of dawn and I drove Walt, Carol, Heather, Casey, Drew and Tyler to the starting line up in Wallsburg. I came home and took a nap then went just outside of the Parcell's neighborhood to take some pictures of Tyler as he ran by. He said that when he saw me he got emotional because he was so tired and thankful of my support! After that I called my mom, she met me and we drove down to the finish line on Provo Center street. We cheered him at the finish line and took a lot of pictures of him and everyone else as they crossed the finish line.

Way to go, Tyler! I love you.

After the race I went to my friend Hayden's baby shower and then met Ty at the pool so he could relax. That night we went to a movie and finished off a great day!
