Ogden Race





So this weekend was the Ogden half and full marathon. My sister in-law Rhonda did the full, and I did the half. It was so nice, and the run was really pretty, mostly down hill. So I know the top picture isn't the greatest picture of me but that is all I had. I think Brydon is so excited that I am still alive at the end of the race, he just can't ever get a photo. He is such an awesome supporter of me. Then there is my hero Rhonda trucking towards the finish line, looking strong. I looked like I was about to die and I only did 13 miles, "go Rhonda". She is the person who got me into running, I hope to someday run a full marathon, but I know I will never be as fast as her, she really is awesome, she'll never admit it but she is:) My time wasn't the best but I did make it across that finish line!! Hope to do better next time, when is the next race Rhonda? Sign me up!!

First off, I have so much respect for anyone who runs by choice. Second, you always find the cutest blog backgrounds. I'm guessing you like to rearrange furniture as well.

Yes I do, I find that I am never satisfied with my backgrounds?? Anyway I usually get them from Leelou and MatieKay. P.s. Mr. Schulter was an Idiot!!

Oh my gosh I'm so proud of you I can't stand it. I still think about you running your first cross-country race. You weren't one of the first to come in, but I was so dang proud of the fact that you made it!!!!!! (I was probably the only mom there crying, but gosh dang it, I was proud) Good Job! Neil says they have a marathon in Logan in the fall.
