On Your Mark...Get Set...Marathon!

So Joe decided since he loved running his marathon last summer that he wanted as many of his family to share in this life-changing experience too. He has been recruiting brothers and nephews for the last few months but now comes the moment of truth! It is marathon training season and is the first of many group runs. Obviously not everyone can run together but this will give you an idea of how nutty those Jessop boys can be!

So bright and early on Saturday they prepared for their 3 mile run. We're starting out easy people! The only ones daring enough were DeLaman, Rulon, Joe, Hyme, and Ed. However Ben, Kent, Scoop, Moine, and a handful of others are dedicated to the marathon too.

As I saw the guys take off down the road, I couldn't help but feel a twinge of regret that Jansen wasn't running with them. Jans was eating a bowl of cereal followed by a yogurt when he finally made the decision to join them. So off he ran....caught up...passed them...and finished before them! Way to go 15 year old! Way to show those old men up!
