2009 Shiprock Marathon

On May 1st, The Tucson Begays left for the rez to run in the Shiprock Marathon. Izzie would be dropped off on the way so that we could sleep and rest for the race ahead. Instead, it gave Tia a heartache. It was hard to leave behind our baby even for a few hours but she was in good hands with Grandma.

We spent the night in Farmington, NM.

The hotel was definately lacking with everything falling down around us including tiles and the dry wall off the ceiling. We spent the morning talking about strategy.

It was a cold and rainy morning when Jas and I began our run in Shiprock. This was our journey together to complete a couples half marathon.

We got on the bus and we each had our own journey. Read about them here: Shiprock Marathon

Finishing time for Jasper 2 hours 44 minutes.

Finishing time for Tia 3 hours 2 minutes.After our run we ate some Burger King and went back to my mom's house. Izzie spent lots of time with the new puppies that Ginger had and sleeping in grandma's room.
