Me a little bit after mile 7. Still feeling good. :)
Amanda running with me. Roy & I had to chuckle at Amanda in this picture. This is an action shot with her in the air and her hair blowing back! She was loving every minute!
Amanda, Me & Kaitlyn after the race...back home where it is warm! :) Well finally this morning I was able to run my Half Marathon. It has been crazy weather this week and I was a bit worried it was going to down pour on us especially starting at 5:30 a.m. up Provo Canyon. Well, we lucked out! It was cold, but once you started after mile one it wasn't bad. I had a goal to finish in less than two hours and I was able to do it! Yahoo!
Training for this race was not easy since I ended up having a cold for over a month which developed into a sinus infection. Also, most of my practice runs were during my lunch break. Well last month and presently work has been sooo busy so I wasn't able to get my run in. It was frustrating and I felt like I was going to be taking a final but I wasn't quite ready for it.
Roy and my girls were there cheering for me for the majority of the last half of my run starting a little after mile seven. Amanda even came running for a little bit with me. She loves to run and always wants to go running with me, but it isn't very often she gets to go especially with the long runs. Now that this race is over, I will have to have her go with me on a short run.
I have to admit how much it helps when you see your sweet little family cheering for you, waving, and have big smiles on their faces even little Kaitlyn! Plus it was early in the morning...they didn't have to be there, but they were. :) What sweethearts! Thank you Roy for letting this happen!
