A picture is worth 1000 words!
He only had one moment of weakness from his 48.6 Mile leg and I caught in on Camera. But really, he was so in shape that he easily walked away from that race excited for next year. He has been training for months and months, including treking up the steep hills of bountiful Utah. It was really inspirational to watch all those people put so much pain and sweat to conquer a race of Will over body. Dad has set such a good example that even luke and I want to follow in his foot steps....
So we though we would try the little leagues for starters.
On september 19 2009, BYU-Idaho hosted its first ever, temple to temple relay including 32 miles of open road. There were over 15 teams that participated. Luke and I did some hard , procrastinated training 2 weeks leading up to the relay, which was apparently just enough to help us finish...
Just before his 4 mile leg
Luckily, there were 8 of us running 32 miles instead of 4. Not quite in the Big leagues but you have to start somewhere.
In all seriousness though it was a good experience. We realized that we need to follow dad's footsteps a little more literally and exercise on a more consistent basis so that eventually we can accomplish a life defining moment that dad experienced.
Go Dave
