    Well. Well. Less than 24 hours and I will be done with my first marathon. Sleep last night was not so good. I woke up early again, so I decided to do one last training run before the big day. I ran 1 mile on the treadmill and it felt like nothing. I remember when I started my training, that 1 mile was really difficult. I have come a long way and only need 26.2 miles left to call it good.

    After finishing my 1 mile run, I met up with my Uncle for an early morning strategy breakfast with him, his son-in-law and a friend of my Uncle’s. 3 of us are running the marathon and the other was there for support and advice. It was a good time, we talked about the race, religion, war and variety of other topics. Eventually we circled back to the race and that was when I started getting a little nervous.

    On the way home my Uncle called me and asked if I was listening to the radio. He was all excited, because they were talking about him on the radio. I found this article on KSL.com.

    100 marathons is quite an accomplishment and I am proud and honored to be a part of it. To run along side you, OK maybe not along side of you, but behind, far behind you, is an amazing thing. Look for number 100 to cross the finish line that is my Uncle. I am number 262.

    Tomorrow is going to be an amazing day. 100 marathons for my Uncle. My first marathon. And did you hear my wife is speaking after the award ceremony about the Utah Foster Care Foundation? Amazing, truly amazing.

    Two days and counting…
