New Yorkers & Half Marathon

This past weekend was so eventful! The highlight was that Ammon & Carlo flew out to spend the weekend with us! It was so much fun! Its always so nice to have family come and play! Friday we did lunch, had a great work out at the gym (where Chris & I both stood in amazement at their huge muscles), and had a fabulous dinner at the Spikers! (thanks Linda!) Then the boys were all DYING to see Wolverine, so we went to the late showing of that. Saturday was such a FUN day! We went to breakfast then off to Six Flags to hit up some amazing roller coasters! We had such a blast running around the park, screaming until our throats were sore. After eating garbage & feeling dizzy, we realized we weren't kids anymore & didn't have to stay til the park closed! So, after all the big coasters we went home & all four of us took a nap! Then the four of us went to dinner & spent the rest of the night chatting & hanging out at our apartment. I love my brother Ammon so much! We always have so much fun & laugh til our stomachs ache. I am so happy they came to visit!!Sunday I ran my much anticipated half marathon. I was planning on running on Memorial Day in Laguna Hills--but decided Id rather do it sooner rather than later. I set the goal for 2009 to run this distance, and have been training since mid February. I cannot tell you how hard it got for me towards the end! All I wanted to do was quit! But I didn't quit! I am so proud of myself that I accomplished my goal of running 13.1 miles, and I have to be honest I am really happy I can take a break for a while!! All that running was getting tough! :) I am so wiped out today from all the fun in the sun yesterday & running today I can barely keep my eyes open! I didnt stretch very well afterwards so I am hoping I wont be too sore tomorrow! I better go eat a banana! We had a great weekend and I am so sad its over!
