This weekend was the annual St. George marathon and it was a memorable one. Friday night Barry Johnson, Garth Masterson, and Jerry (a friend of Barry's who has run - and won his division in most- 80 marathons) came over for a carb-loading dinner. We had a great time eating and watching the Louisiana/Utah game. David/Emily, and Jonathan/Gina got here about 9:30, had a bite to eat and we all headed to bed. Saturday was Kent's 20th St. George marathon and he was so pleased to have accomplished this goal. On our way there David found out, first hand, how nice (and forgiving) the St. George police are. The weather was a perfect fall day, with just a nip in the air. Kent looked fabulous as he crossed the finish line. Later, we all attended the Runner's dinner where they recognized the 10 , 20 , and 30 year runners. It was nice (a little underwhelming for such an accomplishment!) but the company was what made it wonderful. We went to Kristen's for a while to play Wii and David/Jonathan got hooked on the boxing. Emily, Gina, and I excelled at bowling (my humility is showing - you'd think I was a guy!). Kristen had a house full of company (24 while we were there and everyone was staying overnight except us) so we didn't stay too long. Dinner with the kids on Sunday and General Conference added icing to a scrumptious weekend. Congratulations Kent! You are one incredible man (and sexy too - just ask Gina!)
