It's Racing Day!!

Thanks to all of you who wished me well on the race this past weekend. It didn't turn out quite like I had dreamed, but it was still awesome and I will do anything to be able to spend time in St. George!! Tim ended up being swamped at work so I took Emmary to St. G alone and left Davis with my mom. Also, Melanie was going to run the end with me and she ended up getting to go spend some time with her mom so she was out of town. So my cheering section was a little smaller than I hoped, but it worked out fine because Emmary Platt was there to cheer me on at the end while wrestling 3 kids!! Luckily I crossed the finish line alone so she was able to snap a picture of me :) I wish you could see the clock from this angle, but you can't so I will tell you that I finished in 2 Hours 19 Minutes. So just about 10 minute miles, which I am so satisfied with. I was surprised how hard the race was though. I was really prepared, but it was just harder than I thought it would be. So onward now and I will prepare for the Moab 1/2 marathon and look forward to doing that with Tim's Fam!




Me exhausted at the end- but check out the gorgeous blue sky! I HAVE to move back to St. George!!

Great Job!
