Salt Lake City Half Marathon

For the past few years we have met Ron and Leslie in Salt Lake for the SLC Marathon. Even before I had Rawson I decided I was going to join the crew and run the half marathon this year. I started training the end of January and literally worked my butt off as it definitely helped me lose the baby weight. Training was not easy with 2 kids, trying to figure out when I was going to have time to run, kids being sick, etc. . I was surprised at how nervous I was for the race, but it was super fun. I don't think I would ever run a race by myself, because doing all the pre-race stuff with everyone is what made it so much fun. And it helped that Cami and I ran the whole thing together, so much better to have someone to talk to and push you along. My goal was to finish under 2:30 and my final time was 2:21! Man alive was my body beat after though! I got a really bad stomach ache after the race that lasted until late that night. I was pretty dang proud of myself for accomplishing a half marathon, especially since I hadn't really ran like that since middle school cross country, and having had a baby 6 months prior! I will probably do another one again, it's always nice to have something to be working towards.

 I was pretty mad that they lost my bib and had to hand write one!
