Ready or not -- here we come!

In January, after Whitney's inspiring run last October in the St. George Marathon, several members of our family embarked on a new quest -- training for The Utah Marathon! Whitney, Morgan and Jillian trained in Utah, and Bill and Hailey trained here in the River City. Much to Hailey's delight, Jillian is now home for the summer to complete her training.

Here are a couple pictures that I took when they stopped for their Gatorade break in the middle of their 20-miler. They're looking rather fresh, wouldn't you say?

The marathon is this Saturday, May 19th, and I must say that they are all psyched and ready to go, complete with matching "Team Busath" running apparel in tennis ball yellow. All the rest of the fam will be there to cheer them on as they cross the finish line. Stay posted for the results.
