13.1









I can do hard things!!.




{pictures: by Abbie}
The day started at 4:30am....up and at em........
to get in line to be shuttled by bus to the starting point. We wanted to be up early to make sure we PEED enough before.....lol
.
I can't believe I did it!
with OWIE knees and sore toes.....
I Just loved doing it with my sister Keri.
I was so WORTH training all summer. It took every bit of myself, emotionally and physically to cross that Finish line. The tears came on, on Mile 11.

It was ended with a night alone with Mike up in Logan in a Hotel with the biggest jacuzzi tub I have ever seen.
{thank you mom for taking the kids}
I soaked and ate cheese cake with my most favorite person in the world.
And iced my poor knees the whole night.






My brother in law posted some pictures too!

Keri-----I hope you are in better shape then I.....Im still crippled....lol

You're back!

I am so proud of you Annie! I loved your pee comment---so funny! My tears would have come on minute 11 not mile 11! Hope your knees are feeling better now.

So Annie girl-Very impressed! You rock! I could never do it! Ok, lets be honest, I don't ever want to do it. I know a great PT that could help you out with you knees if they r still killing you! Your blog is fabulous, uplifting and awesome! As always! You rock girlie!!

Love your post! What fun sister pics... It was my pleasure to run this race with you, although remember it was your own will that got you through it, which is a great accomplishment. My legs are back to normal..took about 4 days. Sorry about your knees! Get them better...we've got more races to run sister!

Way to go Annie! You have inspired me to do better.

P.S.- I looked for you at the Farmer's Market in Ogden. I thought you might have a booth. I was hoping to buy some of your stuff. Your crafting skills rock!
