Run Becky Run!!

This year haas been a year of firsts for us. Some how my life long friend, Katherine Lyman Jones talked me into training for the Moab Half Marathon. I fought off injuries and ran in 20 degree weather many times, but it was actually a very rewarding process. It can become addicting seeing if you can add a mile to your long run each week, then feeling proud that you did. The race was hard, but I finished. I completed the run with Katherine Jones and Melissa Stringham, and by with I mean behind. We made a weekend of it down in Moab with the Jones family. We spent the afternoon after the race swimming and hot tubbing- which was just what I needed. I am actually am going to try in one more time next month in the Salt Lake City Half Marathon.
