St. George Marathon!

I am officially done with running for awhile.  This past weekend I got to run the St. George Marathon with Brittany and her mom.  It was all so organized, the expo was not huge I only gave into buying one pair of shorts that were too cheap to pass up.  

We had to take a bus to the starting line.  Once we got to the starting line they announced that it was the warmest start on record.  I began running the race with Brittany but then was feeling it so kept on going. Our friend Laura was at mile 16 and gave me a water bottle.  But then at mile 18 it started getting really hot and I couldn't drink any water and my stomach felt like I was going to throw up.  It was like I was in Chicago all over again.  (If you are wondering that is the one marathon that did not end so well).  So I watched the 3:45 pace group pass me.  I had to walk, I ended up walking what it felt like to the end.  I ended up getting 4:10, I wanted under 4.  But it it is still one of my best times, so I can't complain.  

It was fun to see Brittany, she is doing so well which makes me so happy.  It was her first marathon so Woot woot!!!!
