So Ryan ran the Riverton 1/2 Marathon last saturday. He's been training hard for his Ironman Triathlon which is now less than 1 month away. He's been a training fool. He wakes up between 5 and 6 every morning to work on 2 of the 3 events each day. It's crazy how close the race is. I keep telling him to up our life insurance:) I'm a little worried for him. this race is just so intense. But I am so proud of all his hard work. this is one of the things I love so much about him. He pushes himself so hard. He's been so good to do his workouts so early in the morning so he'll have time with me and the kids at night. we're so proud of him and excited for the big day.
so for part of his training He ran this race with his brother and parents and our brother in law. I think he did awesome. He was 4th overall and only 2 seconds behind 3rd place. His time was 1 Hour 19 minutes which he said is something like 6:04 per mile. (let me remind you that I am super happy when I run 3 miles at a 10 minute pace)
This is about Mile 1...they look like they're having too much fun.
Here are some pictures from around Mile 4....still looking strong
This is Ryan at about Mile 10. He was slowly gaining on the guy in 3rd place he'd been trying to catch him since mile 8.
This is Ryan at mile 13 in the last stretch. He almost caught the guy in 3rd place but finished about 2 seconds behind him.
Getting a post-race massage. The other picture is his Ryan and our brother in law Chris and his brother Jeff. They all did awesome. Ryan was 4th overall, Jeff was 5th and Chris was 9th.
Ryan's parents both ran the race as well. Great Job everyone!!!!!

Good job Ryan! Someday I will run 1 mile as fast as you run a 1/2 marathon. Don't hold your breath though... Hey Katie, love the April Fools post. Gentry actually checked the door cause he thought I would follow through. So I guess he sort of got fooled:)
That is so awesome! I can't believe how well Ryan does (and his family too!).
Sometimes when I go out for a run I'll do interval training. When I'm sprinting as FAST as I can, I think my fastest pace EVER was 6:15. That was all out SPRINTING! LOL
I even remember thinking, this is probably some people's "normal" pace! Guess one of those people is Ryan! haha
Can't WAIT to see the IronMan results... very inspiring!
Good job Ryan! That is great! I wish I could even run a mile!
Great job Ryan!! and good luck with the ironman!
He totally rocks:) Watching this made me excited to watch the Ironman! And I love the picture of the three boys...I think it is so cute:)
