MARATHON PREP!!

This is it I have been wanting to do this for a long time and I am finally going to do it:) On Saturday morning we ran 20.8 miles.  We only have 2 weeks left until the marathon and I am super excited.  We are going to do the Deseret News marathon on the 24th of July! We were able to run the first 20 miles of the actual race.  I am having a hard time walking today, but it was still fun.  When I woke up this morning I didn't think I was going to be able to make it to church because my legs were so stiff:) I woke up at 4:00 in the morning on Saturday to meet Margeret and Amber to venture up the canyon.  We missed Kristen who was going to do the race with us, but is now moving:(  As we were running I kept asking myself what I was thinking!! It was dark when we started running and finally got light after some miles. I was afraid we were going to run into some animals.  We saw a porcupine, chipmunk, and deer.  Once there was some noise and Amber and I jumped nearly off the road(I think it was a cricket ha ha)! We missed our first water stop because it was dark and we were talking.  I am so excited to accomplish something I have been wanting to do forever.  I hope it will be the first of many! I know this is a super sweet picture of me! It is right after we ran and we didn't have anyone to take our picture so we had to take it ourselves.  ha ha HOT I know:)
