So about a month ago, Troy and I decided to run the Teton Dam Marathon. Are we crazy? Yes! The training went pretty good except we didn't have much time to train with our busy lives. Troy had pretty sore knees most of the time but when June 14th came we wanted to run. The course was beautiful. The view of the tetons and the fields all around us were amazing. The last 6 miles were the worst but crossing the finish line with people all around cheering and knowing you just ran a marathon was a great feeling!!!! I loved it. We have been so sore the last few days and could barely walk the next day but it is slowly getting better. We are not sure if we ever want to run a marathon again but we are glad that we took this opportunity and had this experience.
