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!

Congrats! I'm so impressed that you did a marathon. Way to go Ash! love you
That's awesome, congrats Ash. What is this, your 48th marathon?!? I just heard someone say "throw me a freaking bone here". It made me laugh and think of all of our funny sayings we had together. We were so weird but so funny. Remember all the songs we made up? "shake it to the left, shake it to the right" haha.
Yay! good job!!! I can't wait for saturday!!
