Ogden Marathon was on Saturday. I finished. The best part of the whole race was finishing with by beautiful wife by my side. This was her first marathon and she did so good! She is strong. She ran the whole way until about mile 20 when she could endure the pain no more and she broke down. The next few miles were a struggle. We had to walk and then run over and over. I kept encouraging her and she kept going.

 Before long we were at mile 22 and now I was the one who was done! I didn't want to run any more! My lovely wife got a new boost of energy and was so eager to finish now that the end was so close. She kept pushing me. Every mile was tough and I wanted it to be over! 

 We did it. It's over now. It was a great experience to run together and to push each other forward. I am so grateful for her and I can't wait for the many more adventures and races we will do together!
