The Salt Lake Half Marathon
On April 18, I accomplished one of my New Year's resolutions and ran the Salt Lake Half Marathon with Adam! Adam was kind and ran with me the entire way. I could tell he would have liked to run faster, but he kept saying, "I'm right where I want to be." So, other than my painful blister that developed around mile 3 and the tenditis in my foot that started hurting about mile 5, it turned out to be more fun than I expected. Once I had done the 10 mile training run, I knew I would at least be able to finish the race if nothing more. Then with all of the people, running on the streets through the city, and perfect weather...it was a lot of fun. I'm not sure if it is something I plan to do again, but maybe.

Yay, Kari! That's so amazing- I'm not ambitious enough to do a half-marathon....
HI!! I didn't know you guys even had a BLOG! Hopefully you know we have one so at least one of us is keeping in touch w/ the other. We have to get together sometime soon. Want to come out for a BBQ in our backyard? Email me @ joceeb@gmail.com or call 298-6304 and let me know what night(s) might work. I know you're busy but we haven't seen you forever! Way to go on 1/2 marathon. That is one of my new years resolutions, too. I guess I better sign up for one. ;)
Nice work! I love it that Adam stayed with you. That is sweet. I felt the same way when I finished my half in Moab-pretty sure I didn't want to do it again. But now I think I totally would. Just goes to show you-never say never!
Kari - you are amazing! Way to go on the run. I finally tracked down your new blog address and it is fun to see your family. Your little kiddos are so cute! And way to go on making the Easter dresses. Another Easter has come and gone that I meant to do that for Claire but didn't - maybe I am now motivated enough to make her one for Christmas :)
