Crazy Weekend!

I would have to say that this past weekend was pretty eventful. First off, I finally graduated! Yes, technically  I have been done with school since December, but I was finally able to walk during UVU's spring graduation ceremony on Friday.

The next great thing I was able to do this weekend was run the Thanksgiving Point Half Marathon. I was pretty worried after I found out that it was supposed to be 31 degrees and snowing the morning of the race, and the thought of not doing the race at all crossed my mind. Despite all that, I decided to give it a try, and it ended up being so great! Todd was a great coach, and helped me get ready for the race. I was so lucky to have him there with me, I don't think I could have done it without him ;-)

The course was a lot tougher than I had anticipated- there were so many hills! But I made it through, and now I can't wait to run the Kanosh 5k and the Red Rock Relay later this year! Yay!

  3. I was registered for a half marathon last August and never ended up doing it, or even training for it for that matter :) I still want to do one though some day. You are my hero!
