My Hero!!!

This is Amanda and she is my hero! Amanda is one of my bestest friends in the whole wide world and this past Saturday, she ran in the St. George Marathon. This alone is an amazing feat, definitely worthy of worship. I have every respect in the world for you insane people (and I know a few) who choose to run 26 miles in only a few short hours. Why you do it, I'll never know, but it's amazing. However, Amanda is always above and beyond. Not only has she been training for this marathon, but she is also Primary President in her ward, she runs a successful, busy photography business, has three children, and babysat two tiny children for several weeks leading up to the marathon (the list could go on and on). How does she do it??? I am in awe! Anyway, here are some pictures to show her off! I'm so proud of you, Amanda!!!!

She still has a sense of humor, even after running 23 miles!
It blew me away, the steady stream of runners! 7,000 runners participated in this marathon!

Is she really SMILING???!!!

At the finish line - you can see the relief in her face that it was finally over!
Amanda and her amazingly supportive husband, RD.
Wow! Amanda is a machine!
