On Saturday I ran in my first race, the Top of Utah half marathon. My sister and brother-in-law ran it also. My official time was 1:42:57, so just under 1 hour 43 minutes. I don't think I have ever ran that fast that far. It was a great day for running, the weather was perfect. My sister and I ran together the whole time which was great. It was nice to have someone to run with to make the time go by faster. I was feeling great until mile 11 and then I think it hit me. But I had to keep going. The last two miles seemed like forever, but we made it!! I would definitely do it again, it is addicting. The only drawback was we had to get up at 5 a.m. I don't think I could ever do a full marathon, but who knows. I would love to try a triathlon sometime in the future. It has been two days, and I can still hardly move, my legs are sore!!
Greg and the boys were waiting for us at the finish line. He had a great picture shot, until someone cut me off at the last minute and got in our picture. You can see my sister in the orange, and I am behind the lady in bright blue.
Time to catch our breath!
Luke was so proud and kept saying, "Great job on the race mom!" That made it all worth it!
