Two weekends ago I ran the TOU Marathon. I loved it. It's a really good course. But mostly I loved it because I had a good reason for running it. My older brother has enlisted in the army and leaves to basic training in a couple of weeks. His wife and him decided to run this marathon as a final "big event" before he leaves. Naturally, I said I was in. I ran the race with my sister in law as it was her first marathon. She did GREAT! We felt great the whole time and finished with a time of 4 hours 28 minutes. My shirt said, "Good Luck Jeff" on the front with an American flag, and "Go Army Band" on the back. I loved all the people who asked me about my shirt and was super proud to tell them it was my brother who was had just enlisted. This could be my favorite marathon so far. :)
There is an awesome give away on Tall Mom on the Run's Blog again! It is a gift certificate to buy some SWEET running jewelry from Lift Your Soul. Check it out HERE!
I just registered for the Provo Halloween Half Marathon. I cannot wait. The course looks dreamy, it will be cool (hooray!), and you get to wear a costume while you run. What could be better? Anyone else in?
I need costume ideas! If you think of any, let me know!
It started with 6 friends with one goal: The 2008 Salt Lake City Marathon. With one marathon down, we're already getting ready for our next one, and we're finding other friends to join us in our running quests. This is a place for us to journal, share, and document our journey to the finish lines, where our reward will be great: a new pair of ridiculously expensive, but also ridiculously cute designer jeans, and hopefully, a new bootie to go in them, for every race. Everyone is welcome to post links, your own running tales, and comments, whether we know you or not! Just use the PG rating please, and thank you.
