Hobble Creek 1/2 Marathon

So proud of my sister who finished her first ever 1/2 marathon!

And so proud of my Dad who finished his second 1/2 marathon!

Hobble Creek was an awesome course...downhill and fast, beautiful scenery, and cool and shaded through the canyon

Couldn't have picked a more perfect 1/2 to run to fine-tune my training before my full in 6 more weeks.

Added bonus?

The fact that it was in Utah and Madden and I got to stay with my sister and her adorable kiddos and hang with the fam for a week

(minus Summer & her family, Tanner & Josie, and my husband who was at home in the midst of finals week...Missed all of you guys!)

Thanks Dad for convincing me to run this race with you guys

Thanks Mom and Uncle Landon for helping with the babes all week...especially the night-before and morning-of the race

Thanks Dad for the extremely memorable and extremely delicious pre-race dinner (how do you say it again?? Coocheena Tuskonna?)

Thanks Shel for keeping me up all damn night in our hotel room the night before the race, reading gossip magazines and laughing so hard my abs hurt before I even ran the race

Thanks un-named person for motivating me to run faster

Thanks Naomi for teaching filthy dirty words to my son

Thanks Dad and Kali for making me laugh harder than I have in a long time

Thanks Shel & John for letting Madden and I crash at your place for the week

Thanks Mom, Landon, John, Madden, Naomi & Boston for cheering us all on at the finish line

Miss all your faces already

xoxo

Fave picture of the trip! They look like they could be brothers :)
