My Husband is SUCH a Trooper!

Let me begin this post by back-tracking to last night. Every Wednesday night Brady and his friends play in a recreation basketball league, so that's what he did last night. They were short 2 players so everyone on the team had to play the whole time. Brady came home and told me that his feet were hurting, so he took off his shoes and socks and this is what his feet looked like! He was running so hard that it started taking the skin off the bottom of his big toes! I felt so bad. I knew that he wouldn't want to run in the Deseret News 10K that we registered for, so I just planned to run by myself this morning. So, I woke up at 4:45 AM and got ready for the race and all of the sudden he gets out of bed and starts getting ready too! I was so happy, even though I told him I didn't think he should run with his feet all blistered like they are, but he insisted. (I know he did it because I kept talking about how excited I was to run this morning, he is the best!)

This is what we came up with...Neosporin, gauze and blue paint tape! It seemed to suffice throughout the race because he did great! I have to tell you he did better than I did and I wasn't the one with blisters.

We took the picture of us in the car on the way up to the University (We started at University Research Park and ran down to Liberty Park). Before every race we always eat a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, so we just thought we would document it.

This picture was taken after the race! We put the camera on self-timer and put it on the hood of the car so we could get a picture of us at the end. I want to tell Brady that there is nobody else I would EVER want to run a race with besides you! Thanks for pushing me through when I want to quit and motivating me to "push it because we're almost there!" You are my best friend and my much needed support system, I love you SOOOOO much!
