Rock N' Roll Marathon

Todd caught the running bug and competed in his first Marathon last month.  He ran the Phoenix Rock N' Roll Marathon in 3 hours, 24 minutes and was in the top 7% of the runners. 
He is pretty amazing!

While in Phoenix, we picknicked and paddle-boated in the Tempe Town Lake.

Avery nibbled her fingers for lunch.  Yum.

Ray and EmmaLee let us stay with them. 
We really loved getting to know their kids and Tim and Libby's kids better!

I asked Henry's brothers to help me "get Henry to look at the camera." 
(I meant to stand by me and get his attention, ha ha.)

Nice job Todd...you know you're not that far off from a Boston Qualifying Time. Do you have plans for a next marathon?
Let me know...I'm going for BQT later this year.

Thanks Brett! I've thought about the Utah Valley marathon in June. We should go running sometime. BQ would be awesome. Hope you're recovery is going well!
