Provo City half marathon - May 5, 2012


 For a long time now, probably since Jason and I first got married, I have wanted to run a race. It never felt like the right time until this year.  I really started thinking about it in January and then my friend Jackie convinced me! So glad she did! I loved training for it and I love that I was able to accomplish this goal that I have had.  I ran the race in 2 hours 6 min. which is 9:37 minutes per mile.  I felt great about that! I will definitely be doing this again and I hope to one day run a full marathon.
Connor and Megan patiently waiting. 


 My biggest fans! Glad to have them as my family!

 This is my training partner! It was so fun to train with my good friend Jackie. When we would run the long distances it really made it much easier and seemed a lot faster because we'd chat the whole time! Good memories!! We both beat our goals which we were both happy about!
This is my awesome sister-in-law who ran the race in 1 hour 31 min. She also just finished a half iron-man.  She is a great example to me of hard work! It was so fun to do a race together, even though she was way ahead of me. :)
