I did it!!! I ran a half marathon on Saturday & it was so fun. I am so happy I was able to accomplish this goal. The 3 of us (Rich, Tonya & I) all tried to stay together through the whole race which made it a lot more fun, since I am not running competitively, just for the sake of doing it... We ran it in just over 2 1/2 hours. The trail was so pretty. We ran along the Jordan River trail & through the Thanksgiving Point Gardens- with tulips in bloom, waterfalls, bunnies running by- so beautiful! Most of all, though I am so amazed that I did it! At the end, Rich turned to me & said, "who would have ever thought you would do this 3 years ago?" And he's right, I used to hate running. The cool thing is, I loved it & would definitely do it again. It motivates me to keep up on my running when I have a goal like that in sight.
Tonya was running with her iphone so she took pictures along the way. Thanks Tonya!!
