race

 A few months ago, Jess asked me and Shannon if we wanted to do a half marathon with her.  I thought, sure, why not.  We ran together almost every Saturday morning, it was fun training together.  Matt even ended up signing up for the fun as well.  Jess found a race for us to do, she said she just went with the cheapest one.  It was Canyon to Canyon, which was just 13.1 miles of hills, we didn't realize that at the time.  Well, we not only survived, but we did pretty darn good
My own little cheering section, which also included Ben's parents:)
 Matt (and a little bit of Ben)
 Shannon decided to kick it into high gear at the end, and sprint off without me.  You can see the determination on my face to keep up, but alas, she ran in ahead of me.
 flowers and hugs from my girls
 Shannon and her boys
what a happy runner

Lots of fun, but for the next one, I'll definitely be going down hill

You are all rock stars in my book. I have always wanted to run a half, but I am not so sure I could. I'll just stick to 5k :)

You guys are awesome! I've wanted to catch up on the blog but it was too overwhelming. I guess it will be short & sweet for a while. You are my inspiration, still keeping it updated with the 4 kids too.
