Half Marathon... Check!

I finally am able to say that I accomplished a major goal of running a half marathon without stopping to walk. The Halloween half marathon from the Sundance resort to the River bottoms.

It was the most incredible feeling in the world crossing that finish line knowing through blood and sweat (literally coming out of my shoe) that I did it, and with family by my side. Knowing that I finally proved myself wrong, and that if I set my mind to it I can accomplish anything. We worked so hard for this race, training, eating right, and making the perfect costumes. Getting up on Saturdays at 6 to go run the freezing Provo canyon trying to reach yet another mile longer. Together Kim and I laughed, sang, and raced to the finish. I will never forget the memories of this race. I was having so much fun that I didn't even realize my bloody shoe till after the race was over.

I am so thankful for such sweet and encouraging in laws. If it wasn't for them I would probably still be on mile 2. Instead I am "checking another goal of my bucketlist" as Kim would say, and it feels OH so good.


























I cannot wait to run again next Halloween, and this time hopefully as a tradition with all the Childs!
