... well 1/2 at least! Last Saturday I ran 13.1 miles through the beautiful Provo Canyon and was met by my beautiful family at the finish line.
It was my first race and it went remarkably well. My main goal was to finish and I wanted to be under 2 hrs 15 minutes and I accomplished both of those things. I finished in 2 hours 3 minutes which is a 9.28 minute mile average. I came in 18th in my age group! I haven't had much of a desire to run since then, so I need something else to work towards. Any suggestions? Anyone heard of the TriathMOM? I think that might be my next thing.

That's awesome, Emily! That's quite the accomplishment! I'm doing my first in September and can't wait!! I also find I constantly need to work towards some event, so I keep running. You're awesome girly!
Way to go Em. I want to get back into running but it's hard to find the time over the summer with 4 kids home. Not to mention how I run with 4 kids in tow. I'm hoping this fall. Tresa wanted to a family Ragnar relay a while back. Maybe when she gets back from Afghanistan we could make up a team.
I am very impressed! Way to go :-)
