Snow Canyon Half Marathon November 1, 2014

 As you can tell me and my friends had a lot of fun on this run, every time we saw a camera we would try to all jump in the air at the same time and I don't think all 3 of us all jumped at the same time but we have a few here and there that 2 of us was together and other ways and it was so much fun. We had a blast. Jeannie Willard on the right is my running partner that has helped me get were I am today and helped me get ready for all  of the half marathons that we did this year.  Jenn Scott the one in the middle is Jeannie cousin and she lives up north but we have gotten her to run with us a few races this year.




 Jeannie is the one person that has kept me going every week for the past year except when I was sick and only by doctors orders I had to stop exercising and get lots of rest. I have ran 3 times a week for a year and I love it, I have gotten stronger, faster, and more confident to know that there isn't anything that I cannot do if i don't just work really hard to accomplish it. I am very grateful for her and her perseverance and wonderful attitude about life and I hope to continue running with her and someday run a marathon with her, we will have to see.








 This was Shannon's first half marathon and she did wonderful for her first one, was so proud of her and hope she continues to make new goals next year to accomplish more.
 This is Jeramy Poston and he has been doing  some of our races with us, our fitness challenges with us, and continuing working on loosing weight and making himself healthier and he is a hard worker.







 We always love seeing the finish line and those metals that they hand out to us it was wonderful to know that we accomplished one more race and we enjoyed every minute of it no matter if we complained about the head wind, and the hills, and the cold weather, we just know that we accomplished one more race and a new route that isn't that easy but it was beautiful.




One of the race photographers thought the it would be funny to capture me stretching after the race, at least I don't look to bad.
