Yup! That's right, I did it!
I ran a half marathon and I didn't die!
A few months ago I signed up for the Provo trail half marathon in hopes to get in shape and to drop some of those unwanted pounds that have seemed to find me since I have been married! I thought it would be a great motivator to get me out and start running. I was a bit nervous because as the race approached, I wasn't training as well as I should have been. My main goal was to finish the race without having to stop and walk. I am proud to say I ran 13.1 miles without taking a break! I am a pretty slow runner so I came in at 2 hours and 25 minutes but hey at least I came in! I felt pretty good until I hit about mile 11. That's when the tears started coming and I had to motivate myself to keep on going! Let's just say seeing Kar's at the finish line was a very welcoming sight! I am so happy that I did it. It was probably one of the harder things that I have done in a long time. I can't wait to do another one in the near future! I just have to give it a while so I can forget the pain I felt a few days after!!!
On the way home from the hospital... my dear car got a flat tire. Luckily we were not too far from the hospital so my dad came and helped. We have had NO lucky lately in the car department!
