On August 11th Adam ran the Provo River 1/2 Marathon. At the beginning of the year he made a goal to accomplish something he's been putting off and when he heard about the half marathon he decided to just go for it and quit making excuses. I would ride my bike with Brookie on the back on some of his smaller runs or run with him if they were really small. A couple of times he would go for a long run and I would go pick him up when he was done. He did hurt his knee a few weeks into training and had to pretty much stop running the the few weeks up to the race but he did still ride his bike to help train a little bit.
He woke up bright and early in the morning (4:30) to head to the race. We met up with him at the finish line. Here is is just about ready to cross the finish line. He passed this lady at the last second.
Scott, Katie, Liz and my mom also came to support him.
Sarah also ran it with him. We were so proud of both these two!
I am seriously so proud of Adam for setting such a big goal and accomplishing it. Luckily his knee held up during the whole race and he was able to accomplish his goal to never stop running the whole race.
Way to go Adam!!
