26.2

My Running Group
Rachel and I we split up through some other ladies.

All the fun poster that were made for us.

I went with the running girls Friday night out to dinner at Jordan Landing. My Mom and Amber showed up with a sign that said " We can do 26.2" it was so cute of them. We than ate dinner and headed down to pick up our race packets. We spent the night at one of the girl's parents house and watched a movie called Run Fat Boy Run. We went to bed at 12:30 and woke up at 3:30 in the morning.

We got all ready and loaded on to the bus that took us up Ogden Canyon. I have done a few races but I really thought this race was by far the best.

It was so organized and they had drinks and Gu (yes I said Gu do I sound like a real runner?) and Cliff Bars before the race had even started. We all gathered around fire pits and of course there were lines for the port a potties. Which I did stand in line for but could only go #1. So yes I was still worried I would have to go #2 during the race. But no worries I did not need too. Which would have been fine since they were not short on port a potties at all. (No need to go in the woods, Thank goodness). Sorry to talk about my bathroom business but it is apart of the race.

It was so beautiful to run down the mountain, and along the river, and around a lake. I also loved all the people that came out of there homes and were cheering us on. I loved that one guy had his car blaring the song "here comes the sun" which is on my wedding video.

Around mile 9 is where I saw Family. And boy was that so awesome! I was so excited to see them and have them cheer us on. They were also at the half way mark and than again at the finish line.

Thank you guys for being there and supporting and cheering us on! It meant so much. Kevin has been so great while I have been training for this, it was a huge time commitment and he was so great through it all. Thanks to my fun running girls. I know I would not have been able to do it by myself. I loved being able to cross the finish line with you Rachel! Thank you for pushing me and helping me to accomplish one of my goals!
