Here are a few pictures of the Salt Lake City Half-Marathon: Heather, Laci and Karalee decided to run the half marathon a few months ago and have been in serious training for it. The half marathon is 13.1 miles and we loved every second of it. The weather was perfect and the mood was great. We had a small cheering section (props to Scott and Carlina) but know there were tons more cheering for us that weren't able to make it. We were able to keep a 10 min 46 sec pace for each mile and that brought us home in 2 hr 21 minutes! (DISCLAIMER: We were running for the fun of it, the company and NOT competing for time!) We were excited to finish the race in that time, and I will say a few tears were shed. Mostly they were due to the fact that while we were finishing our last 50 yards, the first 3 FULL marathoners were finishing their run right next to us. It was humbling to know that our measly 13.1 miles was only half of what they just accomplished in the same time as us. This picture is at 6:30 am excited as ever to be running in our first half-marathon!

This is after the race with our medals!





We were able to have all you can eat: bananas, hot dogs, taquitos, trail mix, and CREAMIES!

They put these on the racers after they are finished because you get really cold when you all the sudden STOP running after 2 hr 21 minutes. Yes, we are official.


In the car on the way home. Not enough room and so getting out of the car after sitting ontop of eachother was NOT good for the body. It hurt, big time!


Had to throw these in, this boy is the cutest little boy I've ever seen. Austin Olmstead-Lifferth.
