londons run

this morning brig and i ran the londons run 1/2 marthon. it was about 36 degrees when we got there so we picked up our stuff and then sat in our car for about 20 minutes until at least the sun came out {we played scrabble while we waited :)} when the race started i was just assuming that brig and i would run together the whole way since he has a hurt knee. um..not even a chance. he took off and we were separated at mile…1/2. i was totally fine with this considering he trained hard for this and wanted to do his best..it was just a little unexpected since he has a sprained knee!!! anyways, i tried to make sure i could at least see brig the whole time and i figured that would keep me running fast. nope, lost him on that one too, at about mile 4 {when i had to stop for a bathroom break. dang bladder.} brig ended up getting 1 hr and 36 minutes and he was there at the finish line to greet me about 6 minutes later! {1 hr. 42 min.} i am happy to say that i beat my time from my last half marathon by 10 minutes. i ended up getting 2nd place out of the girls in my age group! my family came to see us after we finished. it was nice to have lots of support :) they also had a sweet reptile display {picture of niece tessa and alligator below}. so basically brig’s knee is dead and im just sore everywhere. we are so glad we did it though :) it felt great to accomplish our goal!
tonight we will celebrate at costa vida :) {they gave everyone a $5 gift certificate to CV!} im excited. oh and ocean blue frozen yogurt. i also celebrated this afternoon by finishing off my 1.5 quart chocolate recess peanut butter cup ice cream that my brother in law & sister in law brought us last saturday. brigham did not eat any of this by the way :)))) oh, and if this surprises you, then you do not know me that well. we still both had to laugh about it though :) {i get it from my grandma, she orders two ice cream cones when she goes to mcdonalds. she inspires me} anyone else have an addiction like this???
