One of the girls I work with was running it too. So we went together, and I knew I would not be able to keep up with her! I planned on walk/running the race.
It was up Provo Canyon and it was so so cold. We were there at about 5:00 am, and didn't even start running until 7:00. I was so cold, I was numb. We started the run and I felt great! I was able to keep up with my friend, Nikki, and her friends until about mile 9. I then slowed my pace down, and hit mile 11, and my knee was killing me! My knee did not do well running down the hills at all. And I had to pee 3, yes 3 times. I ran a marathon a few years back and never once had to pee. At one point I even ran off the trail into the trees/bushes. That is how bad I had to go!! I felt great- all but my knee, so I did a walk/run for the last 2 miles, and finished the race. My time was slow, but I didn't even care. I finished!!
I know after this little baby, next summer, I will kill that 1/2 marathon! It felt great to run down the canyon and it was beautiful. I highly suggest this run to anyone.
After the race! Me and Nikki and Sage! Nikki did awesome. It was her first race ever, and she is now hooked!

I Love you and I am so proud of you. Next year lets all run it together ,that is if we can have a year where someone is not pregnant or just had a new baby.ha, ha. I love my daughters, especially the little granddaughters, oh they are so dang cute. Now that will be the day when we can run with them.
Way to go Mich!!! I gave up running not far into my first trimester because I was just to dang sick! You rock!!! Are you sure you're 18 weeks because where is the baby bump? I hate you... :)
