To celebrate my birthday every year, I decided that I would run the Ogden Marathon. This year was special because Dave decided that despite recovering from cancer, he wanted to join in the fun with me. This marathon is one of the most scenic marathons around and is a Boston qualifier. Our start began at the park in the small town of Eden. The first 4 miles are on a incline to the mouth of the canyon. From there, it's 6 miles of downhill through the canyon where you are treated to a cool breeze and the sound of the melting spring run-off. The last 3 miles are on a winding tree shaded path. The last half mile of the race is lined with thousands of cheering spectators ringing cowbells and shouting words of encouragement.

Dave finishes strong. 13.1 miles is no big deal to him.
My big finish - 13.1 miles is a long way.
