Ok, so I think as a wife, it's ok to brag for My husband. With that being said, Ryan did amazing at the St. George Marathon this weekend. He finished with an amazing time of 2 hours and 36 minutes. that means he averaged 5 minutes and 57 seconds per mile for 26.2 MILES!!! It was his personal best by 5 minutes and he took 32nd overall out of about 6000 people. Just as a side note I once tried to run just one mile as fast as I could and I think it was around 8 minutes and something seconds and I totally died at the end of it. So I am so proud of him. Good Job Ryan!!!
He left for Utah on Thursday and got home today. When he was planning the trip I didn't think that I would want to be traveling with the kids being 7 weeks away from delivery (hopefully that really means 3) but I was really sad when we didn't get to go and cheer him on. I'm sure it was for the best, but we did miss him. It made me homesick not to be able to go and made me miss everyone. So if anyone feels the urge to make a surprise visit you are very welcome to come. Anyway, Here are some pictures of the of the end of the race. 
Ryan and the running four. Jeff, Dean, Ryan and Kris. one more side note, Ryan's mom just finished running her sixth marathon THIS YEAR!!!! crazy. I need to catch some of their obsession. I think I lost it after my first, someday I may run another one. someday FAR in the future. 
Ryan and his brother Jeff who ran it in 2:58.
Twiners!!anyways feel free to leave any awesome comments to My super hero husband that you want.
also one more thing to brag. I've been telling myself all day not to nag him to help me when he gets home because I know how sore and tired I felt after I ran my marathon. but when he came home he totally straightened the whole house even though he hobbles around like an old man and looks so funny when he walks. that's almost better than the fast marathon time.
Anyways hopefully you can all someday get a husband like mine. j/k. But I am so proud of him.
I miss you all and we'll see you soon.

We were thinking of Ryan on Saturday. Three of my family members ran the St. George marathon and I was also homesick because we weren't able to go. We were wondering all day how the old "Pines Ward" runners did in the race. Ryan did AWESOME! I am in awe that anyone can run that fast.
Congrats Ryan! That is great. It's cool that your mom and dad run with you guys. You really have a great family.
Holy Crap I'm pretty sure I can't even ride a bike 26.2 miles that fast! Good work, I wish I had a husband like you. Haha J/K!
Way to go super fast brother. That is so awesome. I am proud to call you my brother. Katie you are such a good wife to stay at home and not go. I would have gone even if I was going into labor that day. I can't believe you are so close to having your baby!! SO exciting!!
Wow, I can't even believe someone can run a marathon that fast. That is so amazing Ryan! And training all while you're going to law school. You crazy kid.
Congratulations Ryan! You are super fast and super cool!
That is an amazing time Ryan. Taylor and I have never heard of anyone running it that fast. And we lived in St. George and we knew many people who ran it. That is awesome. How sore are you? I wish I was a runner. But I am not. I am super slow.
that is so cool, katie you are so cute and i would totally brag about this if i were you 32nd overall!! Yikes! Congrats guys
You're a freak of nature Ryan.
