Ogden Marathon 2012

 

Lindsey, Rachel, Mom, Dad, Cami, and Me FINISHED the Marathon!

I felt the need to walk to the dam and back to the Oaks, just to make sure that it was still there and beautiful!  No, really I wasn't sure about the transition spot for me.  But I had an amazing walk.  It was the first time in my life that I was absolutely positive that I was going to do it.  I had not run more than 2.5 miles before the race training due to shin splints and such, but I knew I would be able to do the 4.5 miles on this day.  It was the best feeling ever!

I am a person who gets tirey eyed when I see others accomplish their goals and dreams, but rarely has that happened to me.  Too many insecurities.  But on this day, walking back from the dam, I knew!  It made me run a breeze and so rewarding. 

The view from the Oaks.  It was quite cool (temp).  I was bundled up until the very last minute.
