On August 24 my friend Abby and I ran the Top of Utah half marathon in Logan, Utah. It was such a great experience and I'm so glad I was able to do it with her! We started the day bright n' early. The buses took us up to the top of the canyon at 5 am, where we waited until 7am when the race started. It was the perfect day. The weather couldn't have been more perfect. The morning was chilly but perfect with a jacket on. By the time we finished it hadn't gotten too hot yet.
Abby and me with our babies. I love how Violet and Myla are staring at each other.
I had the most amazing cheer team. Seriously, I could hear Jorden yelling for me all the way down the finish line! They also made me a pretty cool sign!
These are just the pictures I stole off the website, with the lovely Zazook logo down the middle of the picture.
The two behind me (The Taylors) I know from Idaho Falls and I didn't even notice them as I ran! Kind of a crazy coincidence that I got my picture with them!
The finish line!
The good thing about seeing pictures of myself is I can see how horrible my form was at some points. I think I had bad form here because I was crossing the finish line and didn't care anymore!
My finisher's medal!
