Sunday, January 19 Uncle Logan ran in the PF Chang Marathon. Of course lots of preparation has gone into preparing for such an event. Running 26 miles is huge. He has been running, working out and eating very healthy for months. WOW! He also had to have the proper clothes/shoes to help him run safely.
Preparation had to be taken on our behalf also:
1-make signs 2- get chairs 3-water 4- snacks to eat while waiting 5- lots of rest 6- cameras of all sorts 7- loud voices to cheer him and all the runners on! We wouldn't miss it for the world!
Dad and Mom making sure everything is ready. Carly and Lindsey waiting at mile marker 14. Me and Carly excited to see Uncle Logan.
Wow, look at him he looks great. I would be dying at 14 miles. He came up next to us and gave us high 5's that was cool.

He did it...oh my gosh! WOW, what an accomplishment. He isn't even breathing hard or looking like he might pass-out! He did an amazing job! He finished in 3 hours and 46 minutes! One of my hero's! He put his mind to it and accomplished something many of us will never do in this lifetime. We are so proud of you!Mom asking, "what was the hardest part?"
Logan, "the 20 -26 mile stretch!"
Look at the salt marks on his shirt. You are Mr. Incredible!We are all proud of you!
Congrats Uncle Logan!
Logan and his running partner Mike, good job guys!
Ready for the next race?
I told Logan I am running Pat Tilman with him, so watch out now it is time for me to train (4.2 miles, he laughed!)
What a fun day

People who run in marathons are either my idols or simply crazy people- I can't decide which. Way to go Logan! I am in awe that he is still smiling after all of that!
You guys are such a good example of a wonderful supportive family. Way to go Logan!
Oh my gosh!! Man I see something like that and I get so inspired to get up and run...then my kids always enter with some sort of catastrophy and somehow I never make it....bummer! That was fun to see.
What a great accomplishment. I am working on running a 5K sometime later this year I think 3.1 miles is plenty for me. Looks like you had a great time as a family supporting him.
What a HUGE accomplishment! I am major impressed.
He's the man! Love him! I'm glad you were all able to cheer him on! He makes it look so easy ! I do have to say..........I'm still not inspired to run though! :-)
Phenomenal!! And how cool you were all there to give the 5's! Congrats, Logan!
I have (secretly) always wanted to do that! AMAZING accomplishment! Go Logan!!
