I DID IT!!

On Saturday I ran in my first half marathon. It was definitely the hardest thing I have ever done! I am so proud of myself that I finished and I followed through with something that I set out to do.

I had to be in Provo at 5:00 A.M., so Matt and I left our house at 4:30 A.M.! The race started at 6:30, and there were a ton of runners ready to go. We were bussed up South Fork canyon to the start of the race. Matt was such a sweetheart and was there bright and early to support me. He walked with me to the bus, but that was as far as he could go.

My dad also came to support me, and he and Matt were there when I crossed the finish line.

I finished the race in 2 hours and 36 minutes. It was not the time that I had hoped for, but it was a relief just to finish the race. The last 3 miles were the hardest miles of the entire race, but I did it!I am still having a hard time walking, and it has been 2 days since the race. Matt keeps making fun of me when I 'waddle' down the stairs. I am starting to feel better today though, and I am already starting to think about what I am going to do next.

Time for a Change!

Last night I got my hair cut, and I decided to chop it shorter than I have ever cut my hair before. I like it, but it is a big change. Matt was funny last night when he saw it because he didn't realize how short I was going to go, but he seemed to really like it. He is a huge fan of the blonde streaks that I put in it.

Here are a couple of pictures of my new do. I did an A-line cut, and I have to say that I feel like Posh Spice! :)

Hopefully I get used to not having any hair in the back. I went for a run this morning, and I couldn't put it in a ponytail. That will be a weird adjustment!! But it was time for a change. :)
