Now What????

Well the last two months of training since the Salt Lake Marathon has come and went...Race day in Bear Lake for our 2nd half marathon was on Saturday and went Grrreat! It was the first one ever there so there were some glitches but all in all it was done as well as expected! Running there was really cool especially with the mountains and beautiful water to look at! The weather was absolutely perfect, we even got a little tan because of it! Starting out I thought for sure Brian would do what he did last time and take off right away leaving me and Randi in his dust...But he said he'd run with me for at least a couple miles and he followed his word! Except his pace is way much faster than mine and Randi's but I really wanted to run with him b/c I knew he'd have to go faster sooner or later and we have yet to get that chance to run together b/c he's always listening for the kids as I go at 6am running in the mornings...So even though I went faster than I normally would and had to slow down after 2 miles of it, it was definitely worth it to run with him and get "you look so cute right now" comment from him which doesn't happen all the time so it was really nice! But poor Randi she didn't dare go that fast, smart girl, so we didn't even get to run together at all! Surprisingly enough she met a group of girls from Washington State that adopted her and ran with her to keep her going! Geeezzz Brian why did you have to run so fast?!! But the interesting thing is that these girls she ran with one of them was my roommate at the Riviera in Provo back in 1998 or 99 somewhere around there! It was Rebbecca and we shared rooms together and she was fabulous! So I may have never saw her if it didn't happen the way it did so I guess it's okay you ran so fast Bri!!! We all did really good...Brian and I both got within 5 - 8 minutes better than the Salt Lake Marathon back in April. What a great feeling to know that all the training and hard work I've put into this has paid off! Also when I finished it I felt so good and could actually stand and not be out of breath exhausted to death I could stand and talk normal and smile so that must mean pretty good stuff right there! My friend Kris sais that means I'm ready for a full marathon, ya I laughed!! Maybe but I don't know that still seems far fetched to me right now we'll see! I'm thinking about doing a mini Triathlon at the end of summer with my pops!!! We'll see what happens I know I need to keep up with staying in shape b/c it is so good for me for so many reasons!!! Thanks to Loran and Marcile (G & G Hirschi) for coming over very early in the morning and taking care of Spencer and Gavin for us I know getting up that early is HARD and we appreciate your help very much!!! We couldn't of done it without you...And having you there at the end with Ginger and the kids for support was wonderful! You guys cheering me on really helped with that last mile in a half which was ridiculous...I thought I was done there cause it was the park but then they said nope another mile in a half going through the city and being so confused the whole time wore me out even more than I already was! But I made it and that's all that matters! Speaking of cheerleaders thanks to Chris and Jenn as I ran past our shop along the way, gave me a boost of energy to get through the end!! What a great group of cheerleaders we had, thanks to all and we're both so grateful for all of you!
