Finally an UPDATE!!

Its been almost 3 weeks since the St George Marathon so I think its about time that I update, I also got a e-mail from Jennie telling me to get back into blogging! Thanks girl, your the greatest! I have to admit there has been a lot going on in my life lately and as a mother its hard to find time to even sit down at the computer and take that time for yourself. (As you all know) After the Logan Marathon my Camera decided to break down on us (another reason for not updating) so I have put in my order for what I want for Christmas! Ha Ha

The marathon ended up being one of the hardest races I have ever ran. We woke up that morning of October 4Th excited and feeling ready until we walked outside to load up in the 15 passenger van and felt the first drops of rainfall, I thought no way it only rains in St George for a little bit so it will clear up. I was wrong! The weather conditions that day were wet, wet and soaking wet. I figured its OK at least I have trained well for this the weather is not going to get me down, until about mile 9 when my legs started cramping up on me (hence the marathon I ran 2 weeks before) and I was getting pretty dang cold, I knew it was going to be a long long run. I had to mentally get my goal time out of my head and just focus on picking up my soaking wet, heavy running shoes and just try to finish. At snow canyon I even thought if I see my sisters Shannon and Lori I will probably just get off the course, I was that miserable, its a good thing I didn't see them or I would still be mad at myself for quiting. Well, I ended up catching up to my friend Amanda who I have trained with all year at about mile 20 and we ended up finishing at 4hrs 6min It was my slowest finishing time but I am just happy I did it, 2 marathons in 2 weeks I am just going to be proud of that!! Good Job to all those who finished!!
