About five months ago I told Glen I wanted to run a marathon so we started training together. Needless to say life got busy and we didn't make the time to train like we needed to. Anyone who knows Glen knows he is a man of his word, if he says he is going to do something he does it. I was not surprised when we jumped in the car on Friday to race down to the Salt Palace to register for the 1/2 marathon. He made the dead line with only 20 min left. Again anyone who knows Glen also knows he does not plan anything!!! So now its the day of the race it is about 6:15 am the race starts at 7:00 and we are still at our house. Glen had no idea where it started, when it started or where it go. We all jump in the car race down to Salt Lake which was shut down because of the race and Glen starts working his salesman talent. He had police officers moving road blocks and we managed to get about 20 yards from the starting line. Glen gave me a kiss jumped out of the car and said keep your phone on you. I looked at him like he was crazy and away he went. About 2 hours later my phone rang he was on mile 11 and doing well. Tanner and I made our way down to the finish line at Gateway and Glen finished just over 2 hours. Life is so much fun and a little crazy with Glen, I'm so proud of him and I love him very much.

I am impressed he is even standing by the end of the race! I still can't believe he did that! Umm Tanner's hair looks like it is strawberry blonde! I swear when I saw him the other day it looked brown. What is with that? He is looking so big and is such a little Glen. I love it!
Congrats Glen the Athlete!
Congratulations! Glen can do anything - he is even smiling at the end. I would have been on the ground crying.
