FiNiShEd:)

Ty and I went to Logan this weekend for the Top of Utah Marathon!! We stayed at the Anniversary Inn since it was the same price and even cheaper than other hotels this weekend:) But lucky for us it was in the BEST location... right across from the finish line.! I have never ran this race before so I was a little nervous especially doing it alone. It was a really pretty run, but a little harder than I thought. I also got SOOOO sick at mile 20 (I don't think I'll be eating cliff blocks or gatorade for a long time!! UGH) My dad and Ty met me at mile 24 and ran with me to the end, which was so fun and I probably wouldn't have made it without them!! It was like having 2 running coaches and a photographer! I finally made it in 4 hours. I could have done better.. but really happy i finished! It was so fun to have some of my family there to cheer me on, and I am so happy they were able to come. And Ty was so great the whole weekend, and made it so much fun, even when I wanted to die. I am soooo happy the race is over and I can finally sleep and HOUR longer in the mornings, but I am so excited for the next marathon. (Hopefully it will be a better experience)


Us hanging out in our room!

Merry Christmas! (a little early)



This new running toy just became my best friend! I have been BEGGING Ty for the last couple months for this Garmin. I told him it could be my early Christmas present because I want it for my race next week.. So Merry early Christmas:) I am soooo excited to use this. I'm sure everyone knows how it works.. But it tells you your pace, if you slow down it lets you know. your time, how many miles you have gone, plus more!! I don't have to clock my runs anymore with my car. Yahoo:) I have the best husband, he even bought me the new Ipod just so I had a Better one to run with. Isn't he great!? Thanks Ty! I love you so much:) can you tell how excited I am??

We had so much fun, until Sunday when we were too sore to move.:) On Labor day we went to Salt Lake with Jake and Bryton and went shopping:) Then went to dinner. But now back to work and I'm starting school next Monday so my life is about over.. Ok not really but its going to be more busy than it is now!
