August 29, 2011

The Half was on Saturday and it went amazingly well! My original goal with this was to beat my time from last year, but I got a little nervous with my foot pain and I think I said I wanted to do at least 1:50. I was so happy that I was able to beat my time from last year and the thing that even made me more happy is my foot hasn't bothered me for one second!! I have known that good shoes were important, but I never could have imagined it could cause that kind of pain! I am SO glad I went and got new shoes. It seems to have done the trick. I am pumped for the whole marathon in less than three weeks!

Introduction

I think for most people that will be reading this know my story, but for those of you that don't. Here it is. About a year ago I started running with a friend. I have never been a runner and never wanted to be a runner, but after having my third baby and nearing her first birthday I knew I had to do something or I would start packing on the pounds. When I heard a friend was running I decided I would try it. Another friend had once told me that it seemed like after she worked up to 4 miles she started to see a change in her body. After I ran that first time I decided I wanted to try and run 4 miles with out stopping. I was surprised when I was able to work my self up to 4 miles shortly after starting. Once I was able to run 4, I decide I would ask another friend if she wanted to go running. We start running together and before long with out knowing it I was training for the Top Of Utah Half Marathon. I ran the TOU Half last August and I am hooked. I am determined I have to run a marathon once in my life so I am shooting for the TOU Marathon this September. I started this blog because I want to be able to look back and see what runs I did and how I felt!
