I DID IT!

I know everyone has been wondering if i made it...Well... I made it!
 I completed my first half marathon this past Saturday and it felt GREAT. I really had a good time running with my sister. Her husband and some of their friends also ran with us, but we didn't all stay together (they were faster than us). It took us 2 hours and 24 minutes. We didn't have to walk too much, but I did have to drag my sister the last 2 miles.  

Dawson (brother-in-law), Stef (sister), Me after the race was all over.
This was near the beginning, you can see there were a lot of people.
 I would say over 1000.
Very crowded the first 4 miles
This is me looking back on where we had ran. We had to run on the high way for 2.5 miles because of the fires they had in the provo canyon a week before.
This is at the bottom before we ran up the highway
My sister and I running.
This is at 4:30 am before the race.

Way to go Mal! I am so happy and jealous all at the same time. I ran a 5k for the fourth and thought I was doing good. But 13 miles is very impressive!!
