DID IT.........finally!!!

After years of saying I was going to do it and after months of training I finally ran in....and completed.....a half marathon in East Canyon! I can't tell you how good it felt crossing that finish line. When I was almost done with the race I looked up the road and there was my wonderful husband waiting for me to finish the rest of the race with me. It took all I had to not cry at this point. I dont know what it was about running this half marathon that made me want to cry so much. Throughout the race I would start thinking, "Wow, I am really doing this!" Once this happened my eyes would get all watery....I guess I am a little emotional. It wasn't the actual running that made me want to cry, of course, it was more of the fact that I was going to accomplish a goal I had set for myself. Thanks to all my cheering fans that helped me along the way....Blaine, Brett, Annika, and all of the random people I had no idea on the sides of the road :)

Blaine and Brett ran the 10K and took first and second in their age group. Quite impressive for two people who didn't really train beforehand. The motivation must have come from the women (twice their age) who were passing them up, telling them to "push it!!" at the end that lead them to their victory. Way to go boys!
