Back to St. George. Our 4 children came along for the first time to cheer us in at the finish line. I wept again as I saw my children's faces so proud of their mom and dad, cheering us in. I have told them I will cover all their expenses for any marathon they choose to run. Oldest son took us up on it and will run his first marathon in March 2003. We challenged him to accomplish this before he leaves on his church service mission in August 2003. He rode his bike across country when he was 15, so I know he will succeed at the challenge. I ran this marathon with my good friend Julie Barrett who has ran over 100 marathons. She is 71 years old and started running at age 47.
