Last weekend was the St George Marathon. I am not a runner nor do I claim to be a runner! I try and
that's the best I can do. I was still unsure if I was going to run and be able to finish a week before the race. I haven't been training the way I should. Its crazy how much time I
don't have. Trying to be a Mom, work, go to school, be a cheer mom, taxi, PTA, sister, aunt, and try to have a little social life leaves hardly anytime for training for a marathon. But I made the decision that I would do it. My farthest training run was only 9 miles. Those of you who know anything about running should cringe now!! We left for St George on Thursday and the weather was amazing! The morning of the run turned out great. It was chilly at the start, but by the time we got started it was beautiful. I am amazed at the scenery surrounding the St George area. I made the first 7 miles the fastest
I've ever run!! Then came
Veyo!
Veyo is a little town that is from mile 7 to about 9 its all up hill and its very
deceiving. Just when you think you've gotten to the top
theres more hill!! I made it luckily! I got an amazing runners high at about mile 14-16 where my
ipod was
rockin and the terrain was a little down hill! There is really no explaining how the high feels. I guess
that's really why I run.
All in all it was a great weekend. I am still sore and the blisters on my feet are just starting to feel better! I will post pics as soon as I find them!!
