I know it doesn't look like it, but I am running...or had been just a moment before. Britt and I are just above Jordenelle Resevoir on my last leg of the Wasatch Back Relay. For those not familiar with the race, its a non-stop 12 man, 176 mile relay race from Logan to Park City that winds through small town Utah to Heber, Midway and then over Guardsman Pass to Park City. Each runner runs a cumulative 13-19 miles over the course of 24 hours in three legs.
Tons of fun, but arduous at points. Britt is still sick from the strain.
Meet Daniel and Brittany
The challenge that began with "Have a nice life, Daniel Burton" is progressing with favorable results. Surviving and thriving on lively discussions about books, Abby, or the post-grad school world, the Burtons show signs of excellent health and familial success.
Dan and Britt met on a hot July 4th in 2005. Shortly after inviting her to join him for a panoramic view of the Independence Day fireworks, and not long after her denial, Daniel and Britt agreed to break the ice over ice cream. They soon realized that they were both book geeks, decided a permanent union was worth evaluating, and were married just over a year later on another beautiful July day.
After graduating with a law degree from both he and Brittany's alma mater's rival, Daniel is corporate counsel at the Woodbury Corporation, a commercial real estate management and development company in Salt Lake City. Meanwhile, and far more interestingly, Brittany is raising a new generation of Burtons as full-time mother and family creative director. Abby is two and a half, and #2 is on the way, with arrival expected in late June of 2011. The Burtons look forward to many years of exploring canyons, creeks, and mountain tops, swapping novels, notes, and ideas, and enjoying great discussions about people, politics, and their family.
Daniel and Brittany are both graduates of the 2002 class of Brigham Young University. Abby is gunning to graduate from diapers, sooner than later.

This seems be a lot of fun for you guys! It is awesome you guys have something like this to do together with your busy secdules.
I love your layout, how did you figure it out? I have only seen layout that go straight down the middle with nothing on the sides.
Dan it looks as if you are suffering a very bad case of Heatatirednessyschooltitus, might want to have someone get a a slurpie on your next run
Actually, Huz, thought it looks like Heatatirednessyschooltitus, because it does not have any school or tiredness involved, it is merely heat and muscular tendinitus...thank goodness for Lortab.
You both are amazing - someday the family should all do Hood to Coast. What a family reunion that would be eh?
