So, I've been running for a few years now. I know, crazy right? Hey, its very trendy right now. :) I've been wanting to run a half marathon for a while now, but most of them are on Sundays. But, some girlfriends of mine and I found a local one that was on Memorial Day. So, we signed up. It was awesome! Training was good, not too hard, when you're with friends. I had a few pulled muscles and things along the way. (I don't really think I'm cut out to be a 'real' runner.) But I was healthy and ready for the run. My friends are faster than me. So, at about mile 7 (on a hill) I had to slow down. So, I was on my own for to the end. I'm really excited that it's over and that I did it! I finished at about 2 hours and 20 minutes. I won't sugarcoat it. It was hard for me. And it was just cruel to have a little hill right before mile 13! I would consider doing another someday...maybe.
Teri, me and Leilani
Me, Myra and 2 other friends from Ensign
At the end of the race, I discovered that Myra (a girl that works for Ensign - Rusty's same company) and I had been keeping a similar pace the whole run. I didn't recognize her. I was so concentrated on myself, I really didn't look around me!
Rusty is going to run the full St. George marathon with 2 of his brothers (John and Tony) in October. He is up to like 7 miles already in just a couple of weeks of training. Guys have it so much easier than girls. Ok, maybe its just me, but it took me like a year to train up to 3 miles! :)
