Salt Lake City 1/2

It was such a nice day on Saturday to go for a run! I really liked the corse- it felt like I was in a parade the whole time, so many supporters along the way it was amazing. The race supports the Huntsman Cancer Institute. There were 10,000 runners and some had lost family members, others had cancer survivors, and (like me) some just wanted to run. I saw a cute little boy in a wheelchair holding up a sign that read, "THANK YOU!" It was emotional.
At mile 11 I was EXHAUSTED! I couldn't make my legs move any more so I told Brooke to go on ahead. I walked for a minute and then my "Eye of the Tiger" motivational song came on and it gave me a jolt to get a MOVIN! I was having many conversations with myself along the way (crazy?) and one was- "This is really hard. Maybe I should just walk the rest of the way. Why is this so hard? Duh Britt! It's not supposed to be easy- it IS hard. But it's hard for everyone else here too! Run!! So I did, when a girl with one leg passed me as I was walking, and I was like "Buck up! She has one leg"! So I ran the rest of the way with a little more speed than I started with and frantically searched for my family at the end, and they were there of coarse with big smiles cheering me on! That was awesome.
My sister Brooke ran with me and she did AMAZING! It was so fun to share this experience with her. And my cute family who babysits/supports, thank you SO MUCH!
