Comments about ‘A few favorite moments from the marathon circuit’

Exercise, healthy eating, achieving long-term goals, supporting friends through difficult tasks, what kind of news is this? I loved it!!! Great story--motivating and uplifting to read. A nice break from what seems to dominate the newspapers. Keep up the good work!

I ran the Grand Slam this year as well. I have mixed emotions about running again after this past year...how do you top PR after PR and running more in one year than most do in their lives? My running group decided to include the Salt Lake Marathon and having done TOU and StGeorge last year, I logged 8 marathons in 13 months. It really changes your perspective in life. I was laid off from my job right before St George '07, and facing unemployment and the attending concerns became like facing those switchbacks making your way into Logan. You have to just keep putting one foot in front of the other and rely on your training. No other experience in life can teach you things like this. Everyone should try a marathon at least once. Congratulations to you two for your accomplishments!

Your articles about running marathons have been right on! I agree with you about this years StGeorge
marathon. I have never been so sore in my life. It seemed like alot of us got pretty sore that day. You could see some pretty slow movers in the resturants after the race. My family had a lot of fun picking out which person was the runner in any group that walked in. It was very entertaining:)
I am interested in the huge age difference with your little sister...but I'm glad you have found ways to bond!
