Our Life in Alaska and Beyond

Early in 2022 Scott and I decided we wanted to train for the Ogden Half Marathon. (I had never done this course before, and Scott had done the half once and the full marathon once before.) We both trained hard and felt like we were super ready for the race, but unfortunately just a few days before race day we both caught an awful cold. It wasn't completely terrible, but enough to make us not feel super great while running. 

I had a goal to finish at 1:50, and I just barely made it! Scott didn't do quite as well as he wanted, but he still did amazing and finished with a time of 1:35! The course was so beautiful, and we lucked out with a nice sunshiny day! The air was a bit chilly, and I ended up keeping my jacket on the entire course, but it was still a nice day! (This race is always held about the third Saturday in May, and many times it's rainy!) Enjoy these fun race pics!

My parents and Chrissy came to see us at the finish line! They got great videos of us each crossing the line, and took this pic after the race. It was so good to see them and have their support! (Mike and Kay also helped by keeping the girls Friday night so we didn't have to worry about them as we had to leave so early on Saturday morning. We had to be in Ogden by 4:30 am to get bussed to the start line! The girls loved having a sleepover at Grandma and Grandpa Hadley's!)
