Ok, so I posted earlier that I had entered a race with my sisters and their husbands. It has come and gone and boy did we have fun! We started the race at 11:30AM on Friday, June 18 and finished the race about 5:30PM on Saturday, June 19. We had 12 of us racing and when it came right down to race day it was Casey, Libbey, James, KK, Cody Smith, and Boo in Van #1. And Jo, Me, Trey, Dan (Jared's Brother), and Dave (Dan's friend) in Van #2. Jared also came as the Diver of Van #2. He hurt his back and has been told NOT to run. The race started in Logan, ran into Heber, up over Deer Valley, and into Park City. In all about 188 miles. We ran, we ate, and we tried to sleep. By the end of the race I was about to kill over from lack of sleep, but was also really excited that I had achieved something that seemed so impossible to me a few months back.
The name of our Team "March of the Penguins"--a penguin runner is someone that is not very fast but will finish the race.
