That was my final time for my first half-marathon!! Yeah!! Yesterday I ran in the Ogden Half-Marathon and it was so beautiful. We started out in Eden and ran through Ogden Canyon and came out down on 25th street. The route really was wonderful and the weather was great. I came in under two hours (which I hoped for) so that makes me happy, but I was shooting for a little quicker. Oh well. I got really naseous come mile 10 so the last 3 miles were quite a feat. But I managed to finish and I am happy with the end result. I ended up placing 42nd in my division, which consisted of 205 women and placed 181 out of the 1295 women that ran total!! As soon as my legs can handle it I can't wait to start up for the next one!! Any takers to train with?

Wow! That's fantastic! So, being the nerd that I am, I just went to this website http://www.arkansasrunner.com/calculators/minpermile.htm, and you ran an 8:38 mile pace! That's really fast for 13 miles. (to me) My goal for the marthon is around a nine minute mile, but we'll see. Congrats!
Good for you!!!! Congrats on finishing and having a great time! I'm running my first race this upcoming weekend--just a 10K. I'm so excited, though. I'm running with three other girls. The race is 2 hours away (we really do live in the middle of nowhere!), so we're driving down Friday night and staying in a hotel. It'll be a fun girls weekend. You inspire me!!
WAHOO! That is GREAT! I wanted to call you, but I wasn't sure if you were leaving the couch? lol
Sandra- you are so awesome! I miss having you around to motivate me!
Congrats! What an accomplishment! I hope you are proud of yourself. One day, one day, that is what I tell myself. Keep up the good work.
Just under to hours!! I would take just under two days! Good job! It's still a goal of mine to run. You're amazing!
GOOD FOR YOU! Way to go girl! That is awesome! Maybe I should run with you so that I get back into that.... ha ha ha! I've never run a marathon and I am pretty sure I wouldn't make it past the first two miles :)
Way to go girl! You are inspiring. (And you look great in that outfit)
Wow, Sandra! Way to go! I think just running 13 miles is amazing and to do it in under 2 hours! That is just cool.
I am so proud of you! Don't worry, next time we'll shave off a few minutes more!
That is awesome. Great time too. Congrats. I must say I am impressed. I would love to run with you but California is a little too far away. Jose is running the LA Marathon on Monday. Should be fun. Any marathons in the future?
You are amazing. What a wonderful accomplishment!
I am going to be in Utah this summer, let's meet up sometime! I will get in touch with you when it gets closer.
Jose would like to know why Jared is dressed in street clothes at a running event.
