This first race was in Springdale, Utah and ended up 6.2 miles later in Grafton, which is a "ghost town." It was pretty cool! I even enlisted my buddy Alisha to do it with me, although I spent most of the time trying to catch up with her. (It was HER first race too...she has longer legs than I do!)

Only one picture....
(The baby belly is becoming a little more apparent).
It started out not too cold, but as the race progressed became very cold and then it started to rain. Oh, and the wind...let's not get me started on the wind...
I didn't walk any of it though, which I was proud of, but 5 miles is a lot more difficult than 3.1 miles (5K). At the 3 mile marker, I was secretly wishing I was done, but kept right on going.
Thanks to my Grandma for keeping me motivated to run and for being my racing buddy!
I love you Grandma! :)
Now...which race shall we do next?!

I'm so impressed by your races! I have a hard enough time being motivated to run every night and I'm not even pregnant. Keep it up :)
Way to go! I'm impressed that you are running while pregnant; I'd use the excuse to be lazy. And congrats on #2 coming along- I'm way excited for you guys. Boys are a lot of fun, and different right from the very beginning.
needless to say.... I'm a huge fan of this post and your new racing career :)
