Today, I ran my second half marathon. A whole 13.1 glorious miles down Hobble Creek canyon here in Utah. The majority of this course is exactly the same as what Codys family and I had been training on every Saturday. The only problem is, I had maybe ran twice since my first half marathon 4 weeks ago haha.
This was just a must do race. And here are some reasons I am incredibly grateful for today. I married into a family that is extremely inspirational and I have been lucky enough to have that rub off on me. My goal always was to be able to run a half marathon and with their help I have ran 2! I'm sure there are much more in the works. Plus, my sister Shawna bought me a medal rack so how can I not work to filling that up?
Second, I am extremely grateful for my body! It is amazing what you can train it to do and what it is capable of even when it doesn't seem so. During these races I see people of all ages and sizes just killing it. Just completing the race is incredible! It makes me so happy to see people do this.
There has been a lot going on in my life this year. I feel like it's been full of big adult grown up things and they are so exciting and I am blessed because of them :)
Until next time.
