Marathon

So I finished my first Half Marathon on May 16th.

This is at about 5am before the race.

Almost to the finish line.

Me and my parents, Brent and Linda

Me and Angie, my running buddy/Sister-in-law



It was really fun but it was also pretty hard. By the last stretch of the race I was totally out of steam. I turned the corner and saw the finish line and it looked SOOOO FAR away. But I made it. . .I finished. . .It felt Great!! My end time was 2:03. We are signing up for The Top of Utah Half in August and then next May we are going to try the full marathon. Right now 26.2 miles sounds like pure torture but hopefully after ALOT of training I will feel a little more confident . . .

Butterflies

So, I have serious butterflies! I am running my first half marathon tomorrow and I am really nervous and really excited too. I had a nightmare the other night that I was running the marathon and it turned into a game show type thing. I had to answer all these questions and do obstacles and I just kept looking at my watch wondering how people finish these so fast. I woke up in a cold sweat! :)

So yesterday I went out looking for a cute outfit to run in :) ( I know it should not matter what I wear but cute clothes just make me Happy) I went to a running shop and tried some things on but they were limited on sizes. The lady that works there told me she was running it in a skirt. I have been looking at these running skirts forever but I wasn't sure they would be comfortable or if they would "ride up". Well, she convinced me. I ended up at my old faithful - Target. They have really cute running outfits by C9 and prices are awesome too. Here is what I got.

Tonight I am getting together with my group of running buddies and going to the marathon Expo and to pick up our race packets. Then we are going to go out to dinner and do some carb loading:) I made everyone a sticker for their car or where ever.
