Hobbler half

Alli and I decided to run in a half marathon. We did 5 weeks of training since we didn't have anymore time because we just decided to do it. I have ran in 4 5k already this summer so I had been running a lot but this was tough. Here I am coming to the end. Alli and Rachael were already here. 11 minutes before me. It was sure a pretty run down Hobble Creek Canyon.
Mile 12, killer mile. walked a bit around the corner to the school and then ran it it. 2 hours 29 minutes 8 seconds. Not too bad for my first. It was pretty awesome coming on to the grass and then seeing Alli cheering for me. I got all teary eyed, first since I was finishing and then I had a thought of how our life here on earth and all the work and trials and things we do to get us back to Heaven and our families was like this race. I worked hard, trained hard, and the reward was great, seeing my family there and knowing I had done it. Heaven is going to be great!!
Alli got a pretty sweet shot here, the gun time on the clock and me heading in. We were about 52 seconds behind the gun time. We were almost at the back of the pack at the start.
She just kept snapping photos. She was so cute. I really am glad we did this.
