2:25

For all those anxiously awaiting the news, I DID DO IT!!! I wanted to wait to post until I had some pictures, but that hasn't happened yet. I completed 13.1 miles in 2 hours 25 minutes. I'm so proud of myself. :) I ran the majority of the race with my sister Alyce. Around mile 10, I left her in my dust (or at least behind me—she runs at a slower pase). It was a beautiful day, and along the way we were all (Dad, Alyce, and myself) greeted by family. First by Mom, Ashley, Brooklynn, then by Brad, Lucy, Kelby, Tyler, Katie, Christian, and Hayden. And finally, the finish line. I thought it was never going to come. The last two miles were the hardest (obviously), but I was also in physical pain. My right hip and my left ankle were KILLING! (both are still bothering me—I have to limp). However, if you asked if I would do it again, the answer would be yes. I had a great time (and yes, I know I sound crazy). Thanks everyone!

Can I do it?

Notice the ticker to the right. I have only a few days before I am going to run a half marathon! Can I do it? I hope so. Running in Utah is tougher than Wisconsin (duh!). It is getting easier to breath, but the hills/mountains/any change in elevation? is not so fun. Tomorrow is the last run before the big run. Wish me luck!

On a side note, I'm in Utah until the first of April, so if anyone is around and wants to visit, let me know.

Today is also my sister Sarah's birthday. Happy Birthday Sarah! Glad to spend it with you. Love you!
