Half marathon!

It's official! Last Saturday I successfully completed my first half marathon :) 

I had such a fun time running and training for this race with my mom, sister, and uncle.

Starting bright and early at 3:30 am this race was quite an adventure.

As I crossed the finish line I got teary eyed just like I did when I ran cross country. Some people ask me why I like to run. My answer to that question is the feeling of accomplishment when I cross the finish line. I am ever thankful for all the help and encouragement to help me get to this point. And running this race was truly a miracle. Heavenly Father is truly a God of miracles. I finished the race in 1:41:24! 

My mom, sister, and I all came within a minute of each other too!

And I proudly ran in love and support of my grandpa who is such a strong fighter against cancer. I love my grandpa and he is one of my best buds!

I will always look back in this race with fond memories and gratitude in my heart.

Time to find a new race!
