Saint George Marathon

I flew into Vegas Friday afternoon.  My brother picked me up and then proceeded to go 120 mph in his sports car, until we got to Saint George.  That night my sister Kristy and I were laughing so hard that I didn’t think we would ever get to sleep.  We had to wake up at 5:00am to get over to Kristy’s sister-in-law’s house before all of the roads were closed.  Rachel had a big breakfast for us.  It was fun to chat with her and the Spillane’s.  We made our posters for Alesha, and headed down to the road at mile marker 18.  Keith’s poster said, “Go Lee You are Totally Beating Everyone Behind You!”  :)

That’s cute little Rachel with her new baby.   Rachel has a lot of energy, even early in the morning.

Here is another one with a lot of energy early in the morning, my sister, Alesha.

She was AWESOME!!!!

    Marathon18 She even had energy AFTER the race!  The rest of the weekend I couldn’t believe how she just seemed normal.  We headed back to Vegas that afternoon and went to a show that evening, AND she didn’t even fall asleep during it!  :)

Alesha has run 1,000 miles, 7 marathons and 5 half marathons, in just this year alone!  AMAZING!

I’ve decided that I need to add a marathon to my bucket list.  I’m going to to DO THIS! :)
