Ammon's training for his first marathon!





Here's my stud on his long run of 21.5 miles! Can you believe that?! This was to be his longest run before the marathon. He's been training for this pretty hard. He has a cousin, Danny, that will be running the race with him too.

He had me go out with him at 5:30am to be his "water girl", how cute. I ran alongside him while he drank so he didn't have to stop. He was going dang fast, about a 6:30 pace for those of you that know running. He was pretty hard to keep up with just for the short time I was giving him a drink. He said that really helped him though to simulate the actual race. I'm glad I could be of help!

Since I was out, I thought I would snag a few pictures for our blog. It seems like we hardly have any posts about Ammon and he is a very important part of our family!! Connor was so cute. Every time we would drive ahead of Ammon and wait for him to pass Connor would say, "oh there's my daddy again".

The race is Saturday the 17th in Palos Verdes (San Pedro), CA. Wish him luck!

Wow! 5:30 am support?! What a faithful wife you are! And you're in pretty good shape yourself to keep up with a 6:30 pace even for a water break! Good Luck Ammon!! (I love this blog thing! It's amazing! Such a convenient way to keep so many people posted! Keep it up girls!) Love, Mom
