The weekend of General Conference, Clint ran his 4th and final marathon of the year. He ran the St. George Marathon! YAY! YAY! YAY! What a FUN race to be at. Being at the finish line, I realized that this race is like no other race I have been to. The fans that are lining the streets seem like they are covering the last five miles of the race. I have never seen so many people at one race.
And what an emotional event! I found myself tearing up several times watching people cross the finish line. I asked Clint later on that day how he doesn't get emotional when he nears the end. I know for a fact that I would be bawling if I were the runner and had just finished 26.2 miles and was about the cross the finish line. I would be a wreck:)
What a accomplishment! He truly is an amazing person. He is such a determined man. When he puts his mind to something, there's no stopping him. He wanted to do four marathons and that's just what he did. It says a lot about a person who is willing to train and push themselves like no other. Good Job babe! I am so LUCKY to have you as my man! Love you!
Since Tanner was off track and the other two boys were still in school, he got to go down with us. It was fun to hang out with just him for a few days. It has been a long time since he has gotten to feel like a only child:) Thanks to my sweet mom for watching our other three kiddos!
On a little side note: While we were down there for the weekend, we went and saw the greatest movie! I think every parent (especially dads) should go and see this. Just make sure to take your tissues along. It is a tear jerker!

Four marathons is amazing... that's all I have to say.
