September already?!

... I cant believe it! The leaves are starting to change, school back in, Halloween candy is already out, where did the summer go? I love fall I wish it was longer. This summer was fun I got into running for a little bit and now I think I am over that. I do want to run in a half marathon next year. (Just to say I did) I enjoy biking so much more! It was a great year for both I did a few runs and rides. I beat my time on my 2nd 10k! I was so happy it was only a few minutes but I didn't care... I DID it! Still need to beat my time for a 5k then I can set my mind at ease.

My first 5k ever! The Ogden Marathon.. It was so fun! I hope to do the half next year. :) I wanted to run a 5k so I convinced some of my fam to do it. I signed cory up but he had to work so my good friend sara ran in his place.( I really didn't give her a option.  she's a good sport!) My time wasn't really good but i wasnt to worried about it cause I didn't train and didnt know what to really expect. I am not a runner! I pretend! :)

Next race of the year was in Salt lake.. It was so fun! Amy came to me and said I am running in a 10k with Jill want to do it? Of course i said sign me up! We did it in 1:21 min. Yep fast huh! We felt terrible after I hardly could walk the last few miles. Well we finally made it to the finish. Jill was there cheering us on! She did awesome! She also trained.. something i probably should do before i get that crazy thought to do runs! duh! I wouldn't finished with out Amy she pushed me through! I got chin splints but i survived. 

Plus big bonus at the end lots of goodies! Thats pretty much why i run for... got a free running shirt, a free HI-CHEW shirt, creamie, banana, jamba juice, powerade, a bag, i could probably keep going. :) It was a blast to spend the morning with these two ladies! 

So I signed up the the Morgan 5k close after the Ogden cause i was determined to beat my time.. Well the week before I ran the 10k in Salt lake and got chin splints and pulled a muscle so I took a break. Well I still had to run in it right?   

I walked 2miles ran 1... I was so disappointed in myself. I had fun though i walked with my mom and aunt the first 2 and then I had to run to the finish. I wasn't in to much pain, but i am glad i didn't try to runt he whole thing. I would have been sorry! 

My brother and cousin ran the half marathon they did awesome! Also Alicia ran the half! She is awesome! After the run we ate pancakes and visited for a bit. 

Did I also mention we all got medals!

last 5k for the year... Sara and I ran in the south weber 5k. Last minute thing. I figured I might as well I need to run anyway plus I wanted to see if I could finally beat my time.. Nope not even close.. I went over! Yep! I was keeping track on my phone. I was so close beating it by 1 min if I kept my pace or sped up a little.  I dont know what happened my leg was killing me I had to slow down, walk, slow down, walk. I was telling myself just finish! I finished... Thats all that matter that morning to me. 

Another 10k... RUN LIKE A Girl.. and thats what i did.. 

 Beat my time by a few min I was so happy! I couldnt have done it with out my besty Stacey and Amy they were there ever step! 

Time to get training for a Half marathon.. Next year I dont know if that even gives me enough time! :) hahaha
