13.1= 1/2 Marathon

it is done!!!! i am so excited to actually say that it is done! my friend Heidi and I ran the SLC 1/2 marathon on saturday and lived to say that we finished it! we had a goal to be under 2 hours and we totally conquered it! i seriously can't believe we did it. but it was such a great time...really. the course was awesome, the weather was perfect, and the side lines full of cheering families was very motivating.
i seriously couldn't believe how many people were there! it was literally a sea of people. and it made it so much fun. i would indeed run it again. thanks to Heidi for making me sign up!! :) she's the best!
i will post some pics as soon as i get them on my computer....

we rode trax and the front runner back home. the kids loved it but i was a "little" tired. can you tell?
