WE DID IT!

With a big smile on my face and a huge sigh of relief I can finally say that it is over. We ran the TOU half marathon and finished. I was so lucky to have Kevin, my sister Amanda, and my friend Tami run it with me. My SIL Tiff also ran it and got an awesome time. My friend Amy who talked us all into it wasn't able to run due to some technical difficulties. I was so bummed but I was so happy to be able to go to dinner with her the night before and have her at the finish line cheering us on. I was hoping to be under two hours but I did it in 2:03, Which isn't too bad considering I thought I was going to die on the last three miles. It has been quite the experience! Training for ten weeks was hard and time consuming but when I look back at when I couldn't run a mile without wanting to die and being able to run thirteen miles it's crazy. I am glad that I won't be waking up at six o'clock anymore to go and run. Throughout this whole experience I have wanted to scream and cry like a baby but it's funny because I am actually considering running it again. I know I never could have done it without Kevin, It was so nice to have him run it also and have each other to lean on.



The last mile and a half of the race, my friend Tami caught up to me and we ran to the finsh line together. She lives in Reno and I don't get to see her very often so it was awesome to cross that finish line together.



Here is Tami, She is awesome!

It was so nice having my friend Kami screaming for me at the end. Kevin's parents came, Tami and Amanda's husbands came and took pictures. I was so thankful for all of the support. Thanks so much to my awesome SIL Tara who watched my kids so that I could hang out with my friends the night before and after the race and so I could get a good night sleep before the race! It was such a positive day except for the soreness but it gives you such a high!
