Last Saturday September 20Th my boyfriend Matt ran a marathon in Logan UT. The weekend was quite the adventure. He was really excited about this marathon so I wanted to do something special for him. So earlier in the week I decided to make Shirts for all of us to wear to support him. The plan was to make 14 shirts for his friends and family to wear. I got some ideas for his friend Tyler and I was really excited to make the shirts. I thought it would not take to long to do these shirts so I didn't start making them till Thursday (the night we were supposed to leave). It turned out to be quite the process so me and Matt's sister Stefanie spent the whole evening and most of the night making the shirts, but it was worth it because they turned out really cute.
So Friday after work I drove to Logan to mean Matt and his family for dinner. Then all of our friends followed behind. Sadly there were no hotels available in Logan over the weekend so me and all of mine and Matt's friends got to camp. My great mom ordered us a tent online and it came right in time. The tent was huge and fit all 7 of us very comfortably.
Finally it was Saturday morning. Time for the marathon. It actually started at 7am but there were no spectators aloud till mile 14. So the first time we saw matt was at mile 14. He was flying and smiled and was talking to us like he wasn't even tired. At mile 13.1 his time was
1:26: 03 Here is a picture of the first time we saw him.
The next time we saw him was mile 21 it was raining pretty hard while we were waiting so we had to take shelter under trees and tarps. Also while we were waiting for him to come a reporter for the Logan Herold was interviewing our friend about our Team Matt shirts. At mile 20 his time was 2:13:22.
After mile 21 we went to the finish line. Once the clock hit 3 hours we started to get alittle nervous. We really wanted his time to be under 3:10 because that is what you have to get to qualify for the Boston Marathon. But then we finally saw him round the corner. We were so so excited and I am sure he was also pretty excited to see the finish line. He finished the Marathon in 3:05:21. He did so so good!
He is now going to run the Boston Marathon next April.
