It has been awhile since I have blogged. Now that I don't have a convienet access to the internet it is a little harder for me to stay up to date. I am now back from working at Targhee. I started a new job in Idaho Falls. I am working at an outdoor retail shop. Not sure yet if I like it. I'm not sure if it is the job I don't like or just the fact that I am back to working 40 hrs a week. What a drag!!!!! Any way here is a little of what I've been up to.
Last Saturday I ran my fourth Marathon with my sister Sara. Considering the circumstances it went very well. The circumstances were that I got sick the tues before the race and by Fri I was sneezing all day long. I was miserable. We didn't get to Logan till 8pm. I didn't get to bed till 11:30pm since I was at Wal Mart finding the right drug for me to take to feel good for the race. I probably got about 3hrs of sleep (not good for race night). The first few miles I felt pretty weak. But had enough energy to keep running. Buy mile 15 my sisters hip started to hurt and my knee started hurting. The next five miles were pretty rough. I really didn't know if we were going to do it. I thought that we would end up walking the rest of the race. But fortunatly Sara was able to get some Ibuprofen (I couldn't I'm allergic), and by mile 20 she started feeling better and we started running faster. My knee also started to feel better. So the last five miles of the race we were passing people left and right. We finished the race strong and happy. I was so ready for this race other that being sick. I had some of the best training this summer. I hope to keep up the running over the winter.
At mile 26.something
At about mile 10
