Bryce Canyon 1/2 Marathon

One more major event of July was my 1/2 marathon in Bryce Canyon. My sisters and I have been training for a few months for this. We knew we were a bit crazy for wanting to do it, but it turned out great! We had SO much fun doing it together. It was so awesome of Sara to come all the way from Texas too! We missed not having Cacey and Kara with us, but hopefully they will be able to join us next time. We all agreed that this should be part of an annual 'girl's trip'. (Dad included of course!)

(Pre-race spaghetti dinner--were those really meatballs?!? I wish I had a pic of Amy's bite size salad and gigantic fork! LOL!)

After the marathon, we headed down to St. George for some R&R. Eating, swimming, eating, movies, eating, shopping and more eating!

(Ice cream, doughnuts, candy, etc.......I guess the diet's over!)

(As Mia would say, "What the crap?!?" LOL)

Yep! It's a banana.........ask Megan. :)

(A short stop at Cedar Breaks for some sight-seeing)

Along with some great memories, I came home with a pulled muscle, a pinched nerve and some really ugly toes......bruised, black toenails. Ahhhh--the joys of running! :)

But it was worth it! I haven't laughed so much in like.......FOREVER!

A great BIG thanks to Jason and the other husbands that stayed home with all the kids. And another BIG thanks to my dad for shuttling us around, feeding us, keeping us in line, and putting up with our non-stop jokes and constant laughter. Hopefully you'll be up to it again next year! (Maybe with one less 'pit-stop' though.....LOL!)
