it was a crisp morning for July, but a good morning for Hot air balloons and a marathon!
I knew that a lot of people ran but I was still a bit surprised that there was this many.
dang it! it's sideways! Scott all set and ready to go head to the starting line. I just waited with my neighbors at the finish line for him.

Scott at the finish line where we were waiting for him. I made him a sign thinking I would blend right in with other family members cheering their runners on. nope not me, I was pretty much the only one with a sign. Saturday night I had Ryan (Scott's eldest brother) keep him out side while Emily and her girls helped me finish this side of Scott's sign. they made the stars and smiley faces and everything! thanks girls for all your help!
" GO SCOTTY GO'' even though I wasn't right at the finish line. He said he could see me as he came around the last corner of the race. and that's all that I really wanted, was for him to know that I was right there waiting and cheering him on, on that last hard part of the race.
Scott and our neighbor Wes at the finish line.
Scott ran the 5K in 29:30! which was the goal that he set for himself, he wanted to finish it around 30 mins and he did! There were 2310 runners in the 5K and Scott finished 767. He finished in the top quarter which is pretty awesome for his first marathon!
I'm so proud of you Scott for setting a goal, and working hard to get there, and following though to the end!
"YEA! HE DID IT!!!

GREAT JOB SCOTT!! And with a COLD in yer nose no less!!
LOVE the sign- that had to make him feel special....and loved.
I LOVE HOT AIR BALLOONS! Seems Utah has a thing for them- they float them every opportunity they get, don't they? I enjoy the sideways shots Dianne- adds...ummm...an artsey look to the blog!
Just to let you know, in the picture where i am holding the signs, im not in pain, I am just saying the word "YEA" because Dianne wanted me to. You know, instead of "Cheese":)...
way to go Scott! It was fun to see you guys there.
CONGRATS Scotty! I'm proud of you! Even though I don't think a human should run unless being chased! Or running from a snake or something! :)
