Okay, we've always known Dad was a bit crazy for running these ultra-marathons, but now he's convinced three of his sons to do it too!! Last Saturday, June 2nd, Dad, Dallan, Caleb, and Colby ran the Squaw Peak 50-mile ultra-marathon. Wow!! Everyone had their predictions of who would come in first, but Colby (the underdog who hadn't even run a normal marathon before) came in first of the bunch. I guess it isn't too surprising considering he is made of nothing but bone and muscle, but who would have known he would beat Dad and Dallan (the experienced ones). Caleb came in close behind Colby which was another surprise. He only ran 4-5 times total and his longest run was only 12 miles! Way to go Caleb! Dallan came in about an hour later followed by Dad about 3 hours later than Dallan. This must be a first in the history of ultra-marathons--a father and 3 of his sons finish a 50-mile race. This totals 200 miles!! WOW!! Who from the fam will they recruit next? Jesse? Talai? Aaron?

(Alright, I know someone in the fam has some great pictures of these four. PLEASE post them!)

I can go on the record right now to say that I will not be the one recruited next. I much prefere a 2-3 mile run. However, as a way to relieve stress Aaron has picked up running. He does it about 6 times a week and who know, with a bit of pressure you might be able to get him on board!
