1/2 Marathon Pictures

What an amazing journey. I have to thank so many people for this award...LOL seriously I have to thank my hubby for putting up with my new obsession. This past year he has been so patient and loving. I also need to thank Windy for actually finishing this with me. You are the bestest sister and I will love you for eternity. For helping me out in the training department I must thank Sammy Loosle and Linda Raney, you two provided me with much needed running advice. Also to all my blogging friends who put their two cents in when I needed it thank you too. There are so many other people that have supported me along the way and I want to thank everyone for just giving me the encouragement that I needed. I did this run for me but I felt like you were all there with me. Windy and I are going to do the Ogden 1/2 next year so you will still see me out there running and staying in shape. GET OUT AND LIVE!!
This was it pretty much, just running, running, running.
This is on State Street, we are almost done.

This was the last killer hill, ok yes it wasn't that big of a hill but after running 11 miles any incline is killer. The first place runner for the full marathon passed us at this point. He ran the whole thing in the time it took us to run a little over 10 miles. AMAZING!!
Crossing that glorious line.
Can you feel the love!!
The Ludlow's
Some of these are really small because I downloaded them off of the Marathonfoto website and I refuse to pay $15 for one 5x7. The rest of them are from my friend Josh (not pictured) who came all the way from Colorado with our other friend TJ (not pictured) just to watch Windy and I run. Thanks Josh!!

That first place guy can just eat my shorts! You are so cool for setting a goal and accomplishing it! I thought of you that morning and hoped that someday I could have the same determination. We took Grandma Ludlow to dinner on Tuesday and she was bragging about you too!
