ST. GEORGE MARATHON

Dear Family,

There was a marathon in St. George and our family was represented.  Rebecca and Paul were training for a long time, Cheryl and Paul also, Doug and Douglas worked  training into their busy schedule and Mary trained in Michigan.  They all came together and stayed at Becca's in St. George.  Suz came up from Phoenix and made cookies.  They all tanked up on carbs of carbs the day before and ran on Saturday.

They all did well, three qualified for the Boston Marathon, Becca, Mary and Cheryl.  Becca had best time but the others finished very well indeed.

They were moving a little stiff the next day so here is a session at Cheryl's in her Pilates work out gym.  Cheryl could be a Pilates instructor so she did a work out with Doug, Mary and there is Cheryl in the back.  They were able to straighten out the kinks.  Mary got to stay with us one extra day and listened to conference.  So much fun...while they were running, we had our post Priesthood Meeting barbecue with John Hickey and his boys, Mike and his boys and two of Doug's boys came to the meeting and the barbecue.  That was a great night and I was able to find New York Sirloin at a good price.  We reviewed each talk during the dinner.  The boys were sharp.

It was a great weekend with a great conference as well

Love, Dad
