Relay 1/2 Marathon

My sisters and I signed up last year a month before Christmas to run the Provo Fun Run. I wouldn't call it fun while I was running it, but it was an AMAZING feeling to finish the 6.55 miles that I had to run. My sister, Shara, ran the last half of it. She hadn't really trained for it and so for not being able to do that, I was so proud of her because she didn't walk any of it like she said she was going to do. My sister-in-law, Andrea, ran with her dad. Cajsa and Nezhone, my other two sisters ran it together. Shara and I ran the whole thing in 2:27:45.

After running that day, I had drill the next day and had to do my PT test. I was so sore from the half marathon, but I still kicked butt on the test, well at least the run. I haven't been practicing push-ups or sit-ups and that was visible on my test. Anyway, I ran my two miles that day in 17:01.

I loved the feeling of accomplishment, so needless to say that won't be my last race. In fact, I am going to run in another 5K May 9. My goal now is to go and run a full 1/2 marathon. YEAH...who knows, maybe one of these days I will actually go run a full marathon.

Right after I crossed the time mat to end my time of my half. I was tired and could barely stand up.

Shara running up to cross the finish line!!!! Good Job!!!


Nezhone right before the last turn to finish the race, doesn't it look so fun?

Shara's and my time combined...WE DID IT!


We went to Chili's to celebrate...and to stuff our faces...so much for running all those calories off.
