The Miserable Marathon

Cold, windy weather is not a usual phenomena in St. George, but where there is an important event, there is bound to be bad weather. This made a lot of the marathoners come in about 15 mins. after their expected arrival time. It also didn't help that Stephen was sick. The marathon gang sat in the hot tub at the hotel to warm their bodies, even though they're technically not supposed to so soon after a marathon (they don't recover as well). Amber had a little fun and pushed her friend Sam into the pool. Later, Stephen was honored as 20 years in the 10 year club (for the St. George Marathon)... so shouldn't that mean he should have been kicked out awhile ago?? =) We're all so proud of Stephen and Uncle Hal, and we're sorry the weather was so unagreeable. The last day in St. George was spent at "The Narrows," where either you go on a diet or enjoy the scenery on the inside of a plateau. Congratulations to Amber, Sam, and anyone else who fit inside the crack!

It was so cold and wet, so not like St.George that time of year! We still had fun. The last day was beautiful. Hope someone recorded Conference! Janine
