I had never had the desire to run a marathon until some girls in my neighborhood/ward were training for a Ragnar Relay Race. My family and I were going to be out of town during the race, so I couldn't participate. I ran with them in their training for the Ragnar and became pretty good friends with all of them. Some of the girls and I decided to register for the marathon, honestly not expecting to get in. When Ceri and I got in...I was shocked! We were both pretty nervous because neither of us had ever run over 6 miles! We had so much fun training together and became such good friends. We had lots of really early mornings, late nights, and runs we never thought we were capable of. When the marathon came, neither of us knew what to expect.
This was at 4:00 in the morning right before loading on the bus.
Mile 23ish
We finished!! Both of us were able to accomplish the goals we set! My goal was to qualify for the Boston Marathon (3:40) and I finished in 3:36...barely making my goal :)
My husband was such a good support. He was always willing to watch the kids and came to all the races that I competed in during my training. He never complained about all the time/money it took for me to run the marathon. I am so lucky to have him!
