7 Down

Well, Ogden this year was and was not exactly lucky #7, but a great day to be out running a marathon nonetheless. I did get my best time on the course (4:11:15), but I was hoping to be closer to the 3:40 range...so I still have goals to set. I had a strong start/first 10 miles, but lost it in the middle feeling sick, and somehow hung on till the end. My mom and Aunt Sue came to cheer me on and it was so fun to see them at the finish line!
During one of my energetic spurts, I passed a table arranged with GU in every color of the rainbow. And I didn't stop because at that particular moment I was in a hurry. Dang, I will have dreams of all those flavors for a long time...
Kandyce McCracken rocked this race and completely deserved it. She's spent many an early morning and long Saturday pounding out this victory on the pavement. Thanks to all my running buds for a great season. It's all about the journey, right? Or is that just what you say when you don't get the time you wanted :)
