26.2 Mesquite Marathon

I DID IT!! WHOO HOOO!!! When I started running alot(about 2 yrs ago) I thought how cool it would be to do a full marathon before I hit 30!! Well I did it & it felt so good to cross that finish line! I set a goal to at least finish in 4 hrs. but I'm sad to say my time was 4:09!! I know...only 9 minutes...but it has been driving me crazy!! So i'm super excited to run the SLC marathon in April to try & beat my time!! I do have some competitive blood in me...but really with myself!!



Right before the race!!! I was pretty nervous but couldn't wait to get my run on!! And check out those guys super HOTT shorts in the pic..he ran the whole race in those babies!!


After the race....notice we are sitting down!! My legs were soooo tired!! Once we sat it was pretty dang hard to want to get up again!!


Reed & Brynley couldn't make it down for the race so they made this poster for me!! It was so nice to have it at mile 23 when my legs were given out on me and I REALLY needed something to push me!! When my friends were holding up this sign I totally got teary eyed(but tried to stay focused) but thinking of my family helped get me to the finish line!! Thanks for supporting me(Reedo) & for putting up with all the time I had to put into training!! LUVS
