St. George marathon '09

Shawn decided to run the St. George marathon!!! i was so impressed how he just decided he was going to do it and then he just started running :) he worked up to 17 miles and then a 20 mile race, and then the 26.2 mile (marathon) race!! Here are some fun pix from the day :)


Each year there is a mayor's walk at 7:00 am and you walk the last mile of the marathon.... this was my second time doing it :) Here was the crew we walked along with :)


Maddie is a Ham!! this is what she does on command if i ask her to pose :) Love this little girl!


BFF for life! These two have WAY too much fun together :) they were running around in the street... clapping for the runners... and dancing to the band :)


Shawn at the finish line... (sorry it's not a better picture) he sprinted the last little bit! he's a mad man! and then i called him over to take a picture.. but he ran for the misters... a drink... a popsicle... and i didn't get my post race kiss 'till a few minutes later :( oh well i guess he was the man of the hour so he can do whatever he pleased :)


Mia sharing daddy's post race ice cream treat! i don't know if she liked it... :)


Finally a picture of the runner!!! he finished in 5 hours. then we had to walk a mile back the place the mayor's walk started... (for the record i told him that i would run back and pick up the car so he didn't have to walk another mile but he wanted to go with me.) That night you would think that he would take a load off right?... no way.. not Shawn Harris Warner :) he went to the ladies night expo an hour after getting home to help a friend out with his booth... he got home from that around 9 and then gave ME a massage! What a Man! we are so proud of your accomplishment shawnie :)

I am totally impressed, Shawn... and you had your own personal cheerleaders cheering you on... I don't know who had more fun, you, Laura, Maddie or Mia... Mia looked pretty content with your post-run ice cream! Congrats on providing your family with so many fun times... it's always something over there at the Warner household! Fun!

Good Job Shawn! That's awesome...and good job Laura for getting you and the girls out of the house before 7! So, here is the directions...go to customize, then add a gadget and then it's called blog list or blog roll. From there it is pretty self explainatory! (hopefully) let me know if that works!

Where did you find that man??? I can't give Rusty to give me a massage for nothin!!! I can't beleive that anyone can run that many miles and not colapse and die! I am also disappointed that there was no strip tease pictures from the Lake Powell Trip, J/K!!! that was such a fun trip. Glad that you guys could come to it!
