We did it! We rule! April 18th, 2009 was the Salt Lake City 1/2 marathon, and Teresa and I finished in 2 hours 19 minutes and 57 seconds. Hooray! Last year when we ran the Bear Lake 1/2, we ran it in 2 hours and 30 minutes...so we beat our time by 10 minutes! I love race day...the crowds cheering you on, the fun bands playing, the finish line enthusiasm...it's the reward for all the hard work. And after all that hard work...here are the top 3 reasons that I'm glad I'm done training:
1. 6am runs were killing me off (as Audrey would say).
2. My appetite is back to normal...in other words, I don't feel like eating a cow every day!
3. My hips don't feel like they are going to break because they are so sore!
I failed miserably at getting pictures...so here's a link to the pictures that they took of us as we were running...that I can buy for a small fortune. I think I might buy one, we'll see...

Way to go sistah! You rock!
Maybe some day I can run one with you!
I don't run near that much and I still feel like eating a cow...everyday.
I thought that was normal.
It's seriously killing me off.
