I ran a 1/2 marathon....What was I thinking!!!!

I am a little behind on posting these pictures. I am sorry! Life with three kids gets tricky. I had a wonderful experience training for my race. I spent almost all fall getting ready for a 13 mile race in January. I trained with my very good friend Laura Allen. We worked hard and followed our training schedule. Nothing good of prepared me for the morning of the race. I was not nervous but about the 3rd mile in I started to hate myself. What was I thinking, 13 miles is crazy! I started to get my confidence back around mile 6 til I was lapped by the elite runners, who only add one mile left.... what a crappy feeling :( But I recharged again and I found strength to keep pushing. I tend to cry when I run. The last 10 months have been up and down for me. I cried the last two miles lost in deep thought of how my life has changed for the better. St. Geogre is beautiful. It was a great run!



It was a wonderful sight to see Mike and the boys at the end!


We talk often about teamwork at our house. How important it is to cheer our family members on (I just love it when Kenyon repeats the good things I tell him and not the bad he sometimes hears!!!!) He was my number one fan cheering me on. Thanks bud ;)


My good buddy Laura. Yes, I felt as bad as I looked!




Here I am at the end. I was crying so hard I could not breath BUT............. my little legs did!






My pictures are not in order. Waiting for the race to start!
