MY HALF MARATHON

I WISH I GOT PHOTOS OF THE BEST PART OF THIS RACE.... WHICH WAS COMING ACROSS THE FINISH LINE ONLY TO FIND MY FAMILY CHEERING ME ON! THE KIDS HAD MADE A BANNER SAYING "GO MOMMY GO", WHEN I SAW THAT I COULDNT HELP BUT CHOKE UP WITH EMOTION.

IT WAS QUITE THE BATTLE TRAINING FOR THIS EVENT.... HALF OF THE RACE WAS DOWNHILL, SO ONE OF THE SISTERS IN MY WARD TOOK ME ON A DOWNHILL.... ONLY TO FIND OUT I HAD SMALL SHOES AND BLEEDING TOES. I HAD NO MONEY TO BUY ANYMORE SHOES... SO THE SISTERS IN MY WARD GOT TOGETHER AND BOUGHT ME SOME! I LOVE MY WARD FAMILY.. THEY ARE AMAZING. THERE WERE ABOUT 12 OF US FROM OUR WARD.

I WAS QUITE PLEASED WITH MY TIME... CAUSE IF YOU TAKE OFF THE FIFTEEN MINUTES POTTY BREAK (THE LINES WERE THAT LONG) I DID MY FIRST HALF IN GREAT TIME:)

THE FUNNIEST PART OF THE RACE WAS WAITING OUTSIDE THE PORTA POTTIES AT THE TOP OF THE CANYON TRYING TO MAKE MYSELF "GO".... WELL I FINALLY DECIDED TO JUST GO IN AND TRY.... WHILE I WAS IN THE POTTY ALL I COULD HEAR OUTSIDE WAS MY DARLING BOTHER FROM ANOTHER MOTHER SAYING" NO IM NOT IN LINE IAM CHEERING MY TEAM MEMBER ON "GO LEAH GO"... IT WAS HILARIOUS! HENCE I NEVER COULD GO BEFORE THE RACE. WHAT A COOL EXPERIENCE.
