Ev is the one in the middle...yes, Big SJ came back to sprint home with him! (Like 13 miles wasn't enough...)
Standing in line to get a "Gone Green" Schwag Bag! This race has the best location! Everywhere you look, there are towering mountains filled with pine trees. Today was beautiful!
Yes. This is THE MAN, THE LEGEND. Mr. PR himself. So, both Johnson boys beat their last PR. You'll have to read Spencer's blog (or the Johnson Running Blog) to see what his time was, exactly. I wouldn't want to get it wrong! Evan beat his by at least 8 minutes. He continues to reach for goals and then achieve them. His journey from Couch Potato to Marathon Man has been inspirational, from my perspective. Every morning I wake up and don't feel like running, I think about Ev who has gotten up in the dark, run his scheduled miles, dressed for work, hopped on the bus and answered a hundred emails on his Blackberry. Then I pull myself out of my warm bed and lace up my shoes. I have a postcard from the Denver Marathon that asks, "Why do you run?" I have been thinking of MY reasons for running. At first I couldn't come up with anything. Is it for health? Is it for nice legs? But after watching Evan cross the finish line today, right when he said he would...I realized that he was the reason I run. He is the reason I get out of bed those early mornings. It is to be like him...He is my "WHY."
Today was a great day.

Awesome! Great job Even. We miss you guys! We are contemplating coming over for Thanksgiving, staying with some family and visiting the ward on that Sunday. Are you guys going away for Thanksgiving? It will be fun to see everyone.
Have a great weekend.
You mean that we should read Spencer's Poop blog? That was gross.
