Our Half Marathon

So Matt and I ran our half marathon (13.1 miles) on the 15th of May and here are a few pictures. The race was in Ogden and we ran out of the canyon. It was a beautiful view and we couldn't have had more perfect weather that day. It was something that we both were not sure we would be able to finish but we did it and we both lived. It was actually pretty fun and we had a good day.

This was us right before we started the race. We had to stand around burn barrels for about 2 hours before the race started to stay warm. Mike isn't in this picture because he was a "VIP" and got to sit in a warm bus to wait for the race.

This is shortly after we finished. I finished in 2 hours and 27 minutes and Matt and his brother Mike finished in 2 hours and 39 minutes.

The three of us trying to pretend we weren't having trouble walking.

Our nieces Michaela(left) and Abby(right) also ran the kids 1K, here they are after their race.

Here is a picture of them leaving the starting line, they were so cute.

Yay for beating the boys :) Wahoo!!Good job, I told Garry I was inspired by you, and wanted to do that someday, then I asked him if he would do it with me, he just laughed and asked if someone would be chasing him.....
