We ran it!!!

I can't believe I haven't written on this since April! But we officially ran the 1/2 marathon on August 8! It was amazing and so so so hard. The first 3 miles were my fastest miles I have ever run and it felt awesome- when you get in with a group and your adrenaline is going 100 mph it just felt like I was flying. And it helped that I was going downhill he he ha ha. On mile 7 they had you go uphill for almost a full mile and that just about broke me - I definitely slowed down after that. And then once I got to mile 10 I wasn't sure if I could keep going - I wanted to stop and yet knew that I couldn't and Brian was right there pushing me and complimenting me - it was so good to run with him. My brain kept telling me to stop, but Brian and my heart kept telling me to do it. As soon as I ran past the finish line I was ready to burst into tears - it was AWESOME! I'm definitely running another one!!
I passed my mental and physical challenge!! I'm very proud of myself!!

Way to go! That is truly amazing. I remember cheering Jon on the last little bit and I got so emotional because I was so proud of him. I bet Brian was a Proud Husband that day. You are an inspiration. Can't wait to see you this October.

Way to go! Your story reminds me of the "mormon message" they had on the lds website last week.
