the big 5-0







bryce set out on a fifty mile race near squaw peak (near provo) this past saturday. he had packed several bags of food and recruited 2 friends to help pace him on the journey. after just under 14 hours, bryce emerged into vivian park up provo canyon. he looked liked i've never seen him after a race before. (of course this was no ordinary run.) he was pretty spent, muddy and had white streaks all over from his body releasing sodium. it really was amazing that he was able to finish this run considering there wasn't a whole lot of extra training beforehand. he amazes me with his ability to conquer the unimaginable. nice job sweetheart!

This just amazes me! We thought we were going to die after the marathon. I can't imagine adding 24 hours.

WOW! What more can I say except maybe- Is he crazy?

WHAT IN THE WORLD?! I thought from the title of the post somebody was turning 50, I never thought that it would be the amount of miles someone would run. That is amazing. He would have been the first one into the valley if he were traveling with the pioneers.
