I woke to the sound of the alarm going off at 4:50am Halloween morning. How I thought this was going to fun I don't know. We left for Provo canyon at 5:45am there was no turning back once I was in the car. Celest is the one who won me over to running this race. I thought it would be fun to run with a cape. I have great memories with my Big Brother Branden who is 6 years older than me entertaining me with the idea that once I turned around 3 times in a circle I would transform into Wonder Woman and kick his butt all over the place! I sometimes still threaten him with " Don't make me turn around!" Plus I figured I could use all the super powers I could get to finish my first half marathon. So Wonder Woman I was.

As mad as I was at Rick for NOT getting a picture of me crossing the finish line, I am glad he brought the kids out to cheer me on and give me big hugs once I finished!It took me 2 Hours and 1 Minute to run 13.1 Miles
In my age from 30-34 I place 49th out of 113 women
These Hero shots are after the race I didn't feel like going home and fixing hair and redoing makeup so sorry and my belt is out of line o well this is what I look like after 13.1 Miles
All is well in Lehi

Well, I did it! I have been training to run the St. George half marathon on January 23rd so I ran this one a little earlier than planed. I just couldn't resist not running in a costume especially with a cape! Silly I know but I am so glad I did it. I now know what to expect and how much more I can push my body the next time I race. I had a blast!

You are a smokin' hot rockstar! My hero! I am so proud of you. Ummm yea, about the St George thing. . . found out on Friday I have a presentation to give at our stockholders year end review meeting on that day. Forgive me? There will be lots of races in the spring I can FOR SURE make it up to you. We ARE going to do one together dang-it! Can't wait to see you guys soon! Congratulations once again!
I can see why you couldn't pass up this race. Way to go and you crack me up!
You did so great, especially seeing as how you haven't been training for long - I would've have literally died after 1/2 a mile!! Maybe next time you'll do that 50 mile one with Celeste!
