Bryce Canyon Half Marathon

Here we are, we did it!

Over Easter April caught me at a weak moment and somehow I agreed to do a half marathon.

I really did want to do a half marathon but I never thought it was possible.

But my sweet Lexi Soper did one and I saw her training and working hard for her goal and that inspired me.

I wanted to set a goal and see it through.

I haven't really been good at long term goals.

If I started at Easter I would have enough time to get myself where I needed to be.

I am really amazed that I followed through.

Every week I would do something I never had before.

But I would get very discouraged during training too.

I was constantly wondering why I signed up.

Constantly wish I could quit.

Constantly wishing I would finally break a bone to get out of it.

Constantly needing people to help encourage me.

Which my sister Katie and my friend Kelsie were always ready to help.

I totally felt the mind game not just during the training runs but throughout the whole week.

I am amazed that I was able to do this.

I did not love training for it.

But at the same time, I did something that I really didn't know I was capable of.

That's what I wanted.

I wanted to expand myself past my limits.

I wanted to push myself.

And I did just that.

AHOY, I RUN!
