Trent started running a couple years after we got married. He still insists he is not "serious" about it--even saying he's doesn't want the title of runner. Well, this weekend he completed his NINTH marathon, and we were discussing how many he needs to run before he accepts the title. He has run Portland 3x, Newport 2x, Eugene 2x and LA. Since he began, his goal was to break the 4 hour mark--the elusive personal record had escaped him each time for different reasons. Well, all his training paid off and everything was working in his favor this Sunday, and he beat his own record and made it in at 3:54! If you look really closely on this pic, you can see his blue shirt and the clock. I'm so proud of him! Special thanks to Jim, Mike and Jo, who came along on the trip and were an incredible help to me and Carson and a great support to Trent. (These pics are from Jim's camera.)

Oh my sweet friends...your life is so different than ours....marathons, biking when pregnant, biking when not pregnant, hiking, camping....honestly, it's a wonder we're friends! :)
Congrats Trent! That is really awesome!!!
NINE MARATHONS?!?! Sheesh. One was enough for me! That is awesome!!! Weren't you running this one with him? I didn't see any photos of you in your gear.:)
Great job Trent! We are so happy for you!
"Oh to be in shape and to be able to run." I remember when Stephanie and I would go and run 5 miles like it was nothing. Just a casual run around Fullerton. If I tried to run a mile today I think I might pass out. Way to go Trent that takes some serious committment!
I'm with Kristi! I'm glad that we're friends!
