Bryce Canyon Half Marathon



Well I can actually say I did it. I ran 13 miles today and I feel great! (tired but great) Let's not anybody (Amanda) get any big ideas, I am not running a marathon I think a half was good enough for me. I am one of those people that would always say, why in the heck would anyone ever run that far? Well there you go I am one of those people. Lets just say the morning was beautiful and the canyon at 6:00AM was gorgeous. It was so fun to run with friends and to have this experience. We will have to see what is next? I am so happy that my dad was able to come. At first I was really sad that he was the only that was going to be there to cheer me on but it ended up being a good thing. He was a GREAT cheerleader and he even jumped in and ran a few feet with me towards the finish line. Thanks dad I love you it was so fun to spend the day with you! After getting some much needed rest I can acutally say that I would do this again. Thanks to all you amazing friends that inspire me to do this, I have loved every minute of it.

Hey Gina! Oh my gosh! It is so awesome to get to see pics of you and your family!! I cannot believe how long it has been since I have been in touch with you or Nicole. I saw her blog the other day but didnt get a response from my comment...I am new to this so maybe I did it wrong ??!! Your girls are beautiful-- I can really tell that Jaci is your "mini me." I think of your family often. I hope you guys are doing well! I will keep checking this blog now that I have found you- hehe. Love Jill (Williams, now Wilson)

You are such a stud! This truly inspires me to want to run. OK...I'm lying...I don't WANT to run, but I read your inspiring words, and think...OK, I'm going to do it...just give me 8 weeks after I have the baby...so I figure by next year, I am going to start to run. Everyone says "You will develop a LOVE for it!"...I say they're high on something other than life...but you've inspired me, and I am going to! (Next April! ha ha ha.) I miss you and love you to pieces!
