26.2 Miles...Utah Valley Marathon

This past weekend I ran the Utah Valley Marathon. It was my first marathon and first time running 26.2 miles! I am so glad I did it and can't wait to do it again! It was definitely intense, especially because it was pouring rain in the canyon but it was worth it! Here are some shots of the event.

(Warning, I look far from glamorous in these...I had just run 26 miles in the cold, pouring rain!)


Here is the proof that I finished!

My greatest fan!

My other greatest fan. Excuse the language on the sign...you just have to know my sister. I thought is was pretty funny though.


My running buddy.


My sweet mother-in-law came to my house with one of my sister-in-laws and decorated my front door to congratulate me. It was such a fun surprise.

This sign was also taped to the door but it had blown off by the time we got home. I loved it!
