My good friend, Ben Cook, ran the Ogden Marathon today, May 15th. I tagged along with his family to watch the finish line. I love the energy of races and especially a marathon. I am absolutely amazed by Ben and many others who finished 26.2 miles. Ben ran under 3.10 - he qualified for Boston. That is quite impressive for his first marathon. That kid teaches me a lot about dedication, goals, endurance, and pure love of pain! Way to go!!!

After running a half...I know I never want to do a marathon. I was satisfied with 13.1 miles. I will do more halves and 10Ks. I will leave the full distance up to athletes like Ben and Catherine.
