Goal Accomplished

I remember quite specifically after finishing the East Canyon Half Marathon last year saying "I am never running a half marathon again!" I must have forgot I said that because I did the East Canyon Half again this year. Last year Blaine and Brett ran the 10K. This year ALL of us ran the half....Blaine, Brett, Annika and I. It was so much fun! Brett came in 10th overall and beat my time by TWENTY minutes! Wow! Blaine did awesome...especially for not training for the race at all. Wait, I take that back, he ran 8 miles once the week before the race:)

I trained for a couple months. He came in two minutes behind me. Ha! Seriously, these Prowse boys are natural born athletes. I dont think I could be more proud of Annika though. This was her first race ever and she killed it! I knew she would! My goal was to beat my time last year, and I did. It was only by 3 minutes but I was happy with it! Oh and I didnt throw up after the race this year, which is always a plus! Ha! Its amazing what being hydrated will do for you:)

To spare you from a very gross sight, I didnt post the close up of this picture to the left. After the race Brett and I had a blood blister popping party. His was a lot worse than mine. I guess the good thing was I didnt even realize I had a blood blister until a while after the race.

We got to spend a couple days in East Canyon. We played shuffle board, hung out by the pool, mini golfed, played games and went to the lake. We had the best time! It was Ryko's first vacation ever and he LOVED it! He got to play with Wyatt and Naps all day. The highlight of the trip was probably when he got to swim in the lake. He is the best little swimmer...and not afraid at all. We are so proud of our little guy ;)
