About four years ago my mom decided she wanted to run a marathon, which of course, this determined little lady did. In this time she has run 9 halves and 8 full marathons and won several awards! Today she evened things up by running the Deseret News Marathon. Now although the course has changed and apparently isn't quite as ridiculous as it used to be, it is still supposed to be a super rough course (not to mention it's always on Pioneer Day weekend and about a million degrees outside).
Marcy and I showed up at mile 16 to surprise her and cheer her along in this huge feat. It was definitely a surprise to her, and it was a lot of fun to see her and this time to be the crazy person on the side cheering. When we were looking for a place to park at the finish line it looked like they were actually taking it down so I had the brilliant idea of creating one so while Marcy searched for parking I searched for toilet paper. It turns out Liberty Park is HUGE and it took me forever to get to the line (with my TP) and both Marcy and I entirely missed her finishing! It seems my idea was actually a terrible idea...but nonetheless we recreated the event. I'll post pictures as soon as I can get some from Marcy (hint hint). Anyway, thank you mom for always having huge dreams, chasing after them, and showing us all that anything is possible! Way to go Tiger, you're amazing and we love you!
