St. George 1/2 Marathon

Most mornings when I crawl out of bed at 5:30 to go running in the freezing cold, I wonder what the heck I am doing, but it is all worth it when I finish a race! This last weekend I ran the St. George Half Marathon with my friend Tiff. We knew it was going to be a tuff course but went into it with a good attitude and had a great time. I don't know what it is about races, but I love them. I love the feeling of accomplishment. I have lots of fun running with my running group but it is even better when all my hard work has paid off and I have a good race.Todd and the boys waited for us a couple different places during the race to cheer us on. It help so much to see them cheering. Todd said that everytime he saw us we were running up hill-probably because we were. I wasn't expecting so much up hill, but we made it!! :)Tiff and me after the race...yea!!

There was also a 1/2 mile "Tuff Kids" race that Jaygen wanted to run. It was so much fun to watch Jaygen run. He took off sprinting and then kinda slowed down and looked around and then took off again. He loved it and wants to know when his next race is!!Jaygen has been telling everyone he took first place. He didn't, but he did really well for a little guy. All that matters is that he had fun!My mom also came to watch me finish. It was fun to have her there with my boys to cheer for me. Thanks guys!!! The weather was kinda rainy and overcast while we were there, but it was still nice to get away and have a mini vacation. The boys went swimming at the motel and of course we got to eat fun places.

So...until my next race!! :)
