Duane, Greg, Myself and Jackie all willed ourselves awake at 4:30 am to take Trax and make it downtown to the 7am start of the Salt Lake City Marathon, and...It was actually worth it!
Johnny was out of town last weekend so I shipped Olivia-Bolivia off to my Sister Tami's and invited Jack-o (my old school BFF) over for a SLuMbEr PaRtY!! Well...kind-of, we actually hit the sack around 10pm so we could wake up in the morning but it was soo fun hanging out like old times with Jack...love that girl.
The Race was great, I felt really good throughout...until about Mile 12--it was uphill. I pushed my way through it and mentally blacked out during the 13th mile so that I could actually run (not walk) through the finish line! :) The weather was amazing (perfect for running) and I was very happy with my Finishing time 2:08:33, not bad for my first Half-Marathon! Next year I will probably win first place! Watch out Mr. Ethiopia!

Congrats! That is so impressive. I ran a half marathon a few years ago and I think it has been long enough for me to forget the pain and want to do another one. You have inspired me!
You go girl! I was considering doing a half this summer, but I slacked and now there's no way I could be ready. Someday, I'm totally gonna do it. You really are an inspiration!
So cool, who is Greg?
Props to you for pushing yourself, I know I never could
Wow, you're awesome. I wish I liked to run.
