Cayden ran and won his first half marathon despite getting to bed at 1 am (drive in movie night)!
  Respectively they came in 7th and 8th place overall with minimal training.


It was a trail run in the Herriman foothills - Herriman Hold'em Half.




Along side the runners were several groups of marines and other military personnel that completed the course with their full packs in honor of those that committed suicide from PTSD.  It was very moving to see this group as part of the runners.

Randy said it was fun to see Cayden transition from being coached and paced by him to Cayden ultimately setting the pace.

Estimating is a tricky thing and this time I totally missed. I assumed with trail run, little sleep, little training, and a first time experience it would take them around 1:45 to 2 hours. So I zipped home to do some work, and when I came back to capture finish photos they were already done and snacking on grapes and chocolate creamsicles.
