Antelope Island

My sisters are crazy.
Janice and Maria set out to run the Antelope Island 50 miler. That right I said 50. This was Maria's 3rd time at this race and her 5th 50 miler race. It was Janice's 1st 50 miler race. They started the race and then Maria's husband Jason and I went and cheered them on till they reached the first aid station at 27 + miles where we were going to jump in and finish the race with them. Maria got really sick several miles back and it was getting worse as she ran and since she has a 50 miler in Idaho in May she decided to go ahead and stop at that point so that she wouldn't get any worse. So Janice and I took off. It was a very hard thing mentally and physically for her. I mean hello 50 miles so crazy. There was lots of running, walking and even hiking all those up hills. We had a great time and I hope I was a help to her in her crazy journey. She is so tough and hard core I love her. I ended up with my longest run ever at 22.25 miles. A memory that I will never forget. Love you two beautiful sisters of mine.

I don't have any pictures of Maria right now but after Janice post I'll steal some off her blog of those two running together.

Cambree finally learned how to spell all of her name. She has been writing Camb for a while and today she added the ( r ) and so we sat down and worked on the ( e ) and she has been writing her name on everything all day long. It was so cute when she finally got the e down she said to me "Now I can go to pre-school and turn 4" She is growing so fast and I love to see her reaction when she figures something out. She was so proud of herself.
