SLC Marathon

Well, my legs are KILLING me now, but it was a BLAST! Saturday I ran in the SLC 5k along with the whole city I think!! I could not belive what a big deal it was and how many people were running! I was planning on training for the 1/2 marathon but never really found the time or dedication to stick to my training schedule. Hopefully I'll get back on track so I can run the Moab 1/2 marathon in October with my cousin Carlye.

I seriously had so much fun! I'm pretty sure I'll be addicted to racing now and hopefully I'll be able to keep improving my time. And of course who can pass up free stuff? Once you pass the finish line people are just handing all sorts of fun and yummy things at you! I didn't realize how hard it would be to go from training on a treadmill to actually running outside. After about mile one I felt like I had already ran my 3.1 miles!!


Here are some LOVELY pictures of me crossing the finish line! What an AMAZING feeling that was...even if it was only the 5k!!

YAY!!! You DID IT! Congratulations Ash. Sorry I wasn't able to make it to this one. We do need to start training for the October 1/2 Marathon. It will probably be here before we know it. :)
