YEAH I finished wow what a day!!! On Saturday was the Salt Lake City Marathon I've done this race the last three years, and almost decided not to do it for my forth time in a row!! So I've slacked alot this year when it came to the training, I started out really good the first month and then I was just burned out so i just stopped running really. Three weeks before the race I decided to try running 10 miles and just about died it was horrible!! So needless to say I gave up and said oh well I'll just not do it this year, even though deep down I'd be so mad at myself for not doing it) So the monday before the race I tried running on the treadmill and honestly gave up before a mile, yeah I was depressed! So Friday my sister in law kelli went down to register for the race and called Kevin to see if I was sure I didn't want to do it and I still said No. But after I got off the phone I decided what the heck I'll just do it even if I come in last witch is what will probably happen since I did so awful at training. So Cystal, Kelli , Heidi, Mark, and I were in! Saturday morning we meet at the Pugh's and while we were waiting for everyone Darren randomly decided to do it as well! So before the race started I downed a 5 hour energy drink and 4 ibprofens and said a millions prayers to not let me die. So off we went, I turned my music up so loud so I couldn't hear my self think and just ran. Kevin's brother Darren caught up with and helped me the whole way he kept looking behind his shoulder to make sure i was still there and would say "come on" there were times I wanted to kill him and say just leave me but I didn't I did my best to stay with him and I'm so grateful for him becasue he helped me so much. WELL i did finished and not only did I FINISH but i got my best time 1:52 minutes and I was feeling good it was my best run I have ever had I felt amazing. But then we were on out way home and my body started to say what the heck were you thinking running this with out being ready, wow I started puking all day with major other things I won't discuss I fetl awful not only did i feel awful for about 24 hrs but the next 5 days seriously I couldn't barely walk my legs hurt so bad! But it was worth it and i'm so glad I did it. And I'm so proud of everyone in our famly that ran it! Everyone did so good! And next year I promised my self I have to train!
