Last weekend Lyndsey and I ran the Salt Lake half marathon. It was my first post baby race and was a good excuse to get me out of the house to train. It was actually a really great course, with people cheering us on the whole way, offering us orange juice, bacon (seriously, there was some guy cooking bacon on the side of the road) and music. So fun.
Adam's good friend Steve is a director for
teamgive, and
Bluehouse is now one of their sponsors. Team give participated in the bike tour part of the race and had a booth at the finish line that Adam was a part of. So he HAD to be at the race. It was fun to have him there with Grant waiting for me when I came in.
Lyndsey was awesome to run with. She stayed with me the whole time even though she could have left me in the dust at mile 1.
The race went right by Adam's parents street, so they all walked down to wave and cheer us on when we went by.
The race was a great precursor to the
Wasatch Back which is coming up here in a couple of weeks. I wanted to do it so bad last year but had just had a baby, so this year I'm doing it hooray! ALSO, Lyndsey and I just found out that we got in to the
Spud Man triathlon, AHHHHHHHHH. I'm kind of freaking out. I think I might die. Please bless I will be able to do it.

You guys are awesome. I'm feeling really left out this year. All of a sudden you guys are doing all these races and I'm just gaining weight by the second! I wish I could do them with you! It's OK...I'll be back soon enough. I can't wait to see how you like Ragnar...it's the best! And you're going to rock the spud-man. Seriously, who are my amazing sisters?!!
Ahhhhh, good times. I can't wait to do more races with you. It is going to be a good summer.

I'm with Keri! I've been trying to convince people to do these races with me for years, and now that I can't do it everyone has the race bug! Ahhhhhh! Congrats on do the 1/2 marathon and on getting into the spud. You will love it! Next year lets all plan to do races together okay?
