St. George Marathon 2011

Dad cheering for Tia and waiting with his ALOHA sign!!!

Here we are waiting for Tia!





Giving Hi 5's to the runners



Here's our runner, Tia Stokes time: 4:08



Tia and her Number 1 supporter: Andy Tia and Mom and Dad All of us that came to cheer Tia on at the marathon Me and My Amazing Little Sister Tia and her family Tia and her boys: Major and Legend Tia and MajLegend and Cecilee On her way home to REST!!! At the finish line Tia explained to everyone why she didn't make her time to qualify for the Boston Marathon. She was planning on running and finishing in 3:40 minutes. As she was running she saw a lady go down and not get back up, she thought for sure that someone ahead of her would stop and help her. Well, nobody did and she found herself above the lady telling her that she is there to help her and get her help. Well 20 minutes later she was back on the marathon trail and trying to start again after stopping was hard. So she knew at that moment that her time has been delayed for 20 minutes and there is NO way to qualify.


So, she may not have qualified for the Boston Marathon, she FOR SURE qualified for HEAVEN!
