I ran the Painters Half Marathon. The whole time I was pushing myself. I ran with a girl named Katie. We were running about the same pace, so we just ran together. She is from Salt Lake and I told her about the blog. My pace was 8:52 Min/Mi. That is a great pace for me and it felt good to run that fast. Good job to everyone else who ran the half.

Under 2:00! Great job! I am, however, kind of upset that I am not on your "favorite blogs" list. Hummm... Interesting.... Thanks for yelling at me as I came by.

You don't blog me enough to be on my "favorite blogs" hahaha but you never know one day you might be on there.

Who was the first one to write you and tell you good job? Not Ruth, or Jeff, or Decker, or even Ally - so...

So awesome you broke 2 hours! It was great to meet you at Steve's on Friday. I never ran a 1/2 marathon until I was 27, so it's impressive you are out there. You really are Amazing!
