Today I ran in the Teton Dam half marathon. I finished in 2 hours and 19 seconds. I ran with my friend Ashley, her sister, and her sister's husband. They were a lot of fun to run with! It was a great experience! All of the volunteers were so helpful and the course was beautiful. There was a lot of uphill in it but we did it! All of my family came up to visit for the occassion, and Eric's brother Chris came to watch the race. I felt so lucky to have the biggest cheering crowd there! My grandpa has never missed one of my races in my life! Throughout high school and beyond he has always been right there cheering me on. He ran a few short stretches of the race with me, and that was a blast. My little brother and sister hopped in for a few seconds too. My grandpa always brings me a gatorade when I run too. He is so sweet and I'm not sure if I would have such a passion for running if it weren't for him. Eric was also so cute about the race. He made sure that I got to bed on time and drank a lot the night before the race. He seemed more worried about it than I was. I don't know what I would do without him, he takes such good care of me. My family supports me so much!
The end of the race went right by the temple. It was a great motivation! Notice my face, hilarious.
These are all of my supporters! Thanks guys!
