Last week my sister in law, Kristy, convinced me to go up to
Wyoming and run the Star Valley Half. I
debated, but finally gave in and did it (even though I hadn’t been running for
almost a month).
Kristy’s sister (who is also my friend), Jess, (who is
actually the one that got me started on this whole 30 before 30 thing), ran the
race with us!
Kristy, Jess, and I all started out together, but then Jess
and I finished it together. Jessica is
pretty much amazing (as in she runs two halfs a year) and she was WAY too nice
to me! She went at my pace the whole
time, with a few exceptions when she got in the zone and got far ahead of
me. Then, when she saw that I was WAY
behind her, she stopped and walked until I caught up!
Mile 12 was pretty hard (ok REALLY hard), and I was barely hobbling
along. Then, right as we came around the
last corner to the last stretch, the crowd started cheering, my power song came
on, and I pushed the last stretch a little too hard—and I am REALLY sore today!
Posing for a picture on the left, then feeling light headed, and lost my balance on the right.
We took the kids over to the pond for a little while, packed
up, then headed home (with a stop on the way for some sushi). It was a quick trip,
but a fun one!
THANK YOU BEN AND KRISTY FOR EVERYTHING!!
YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST!!

Haylee!! You are the best! Good job running a half marathon. I don't think that is something I will ever be able to accomplish. I am not a runner but wish I was. We will keep Lindsay in our prayers. Hopefully everything will look better in 6 months. I loved your perspective blog post. However, I am still convinced you are as close to perfect as a mom can get. :) I LOVE you!! We will get a CD of pictures from the reunion in the mail to you guys soon! :) LOVE and MISS you!!
You are amazing! I am lucky to finish a 5K! Good job and keep checking off that bucket list! I'm sure you will get them all done!
