13.1


My sister Debbie and I ran the Ogden half marathon today. It wasn't my worst time ever, so I was happy, and the course is my new favorite half. It is gorgeous, well organized, and because it is on the same course as the full marathon, we got lots of good aid almost every mile. It was the first time I've been offered bubble gum, red vines, gummy bears, and watermelon during a race. It was like snack time every mile! My friend Kalita finished her 50th marathon today. Congrats Kalita!

Wow Helen! I am so proud of you! and I cannot wait to get this baby out of me so I can attempt a marathon! hahah. I remember you making me run with you on the Mish, I think you taught me to like it (not love it)
Good for you!

My friend Shelly Sommerfeldt designed the title and the background paper for me. I could never be so cute by myself:)
