Running, Running, and More Running

Today I completed my third half-marathon. I ran in the City of Trees half-marathon this morning in Boise, Idaho. I had the pleasure of running most of the way with my wonderful friend Kelli Kinney. It was wonderful to get to spend a little time with her...although we didn't do much talking because that just takes too much energy while running. I wasn't sure if I was ready for it, but I did complete the whole thing without walking.
Kelli and I had some great cheerleaders cheering us on along the way. Thank you Tyler and Brie, Ryan, Noah, Josh, Aidan, Bryce, Laurie, and Randy and others who helped us make it to the end.
I am physical tired and I am ready to take a small break from running long distances and spend less time training. I finished the race in 2 hours 12 minutes, which was a little longer than I wanted to take, but oh well. I am just happy to have finished.
