The Pocatello Marathon was upon us after 3 LONG months of training. We spent Labor day weekend in Pocatello enjoying good friends and family and many nights of eating out! The best part of our trip for the kids was our hotel. Isn't it crazy how the simple things make children the happiest. A week before, Cameron hurt his knee running and was a little nervous on how his knee was going to feel after running 26.2 miles, but he did AWESOME! He had many supporters who cheered him on and we were all glad when he made it at the finish line four and a half hours later. Cameron made a goal for himself to finish it under four hours, but with his knee it slowed him down. I think he still made great timing though, afterall it being his first marathon. I asked him after the race if he was going to run another one and the answer is probably not, maybe half marathon. Apparently that extra 13 miles is torture. Here are some pictures of our "Runner"
Go Cam Go!!

Brandon had knee problems too when he did his. I think running that long is against the Lord's plan. :) He took massive amounts of IBprofen. Great way to start a race. Anyway, congrats to Cameron! That's one thing I'll never do!
Awesome!
What an accomplishment - good job Cameron!
Im so glad we were able to watch him cross the finish line! He did awesome!! I had so much fun with you guys this weekend! i wish we lived closer so we could play more often!!
Woo-hoo! Go Cameron! I'm glad we could hang out, and I'm glad I got to come cheer him on! He did awesome. I've told so many people how impressed I was that he ran the race, especially after hurting his knee. He's amazing!
Yay! It was so fun to watch him cross the finish line! Not many wives can say their husbands ran a marathon! I saw a few pictures of him from your previous posts and I thought he looked super skinny...especially in his face...now I know why! I guess training for 26 miles will do that huh???
