She Runs 1/2 Marathon Recap

February 24, 2013

I was practically naked compared to everyone at the race yesterday but my body temperature raises 20 degrees within 5 strides of a race so I tend to stick to shorts and a tank no matter what the temperature is. I am crazy. The race started at 9 which was perfect because I had more than enough time to get Brooke ready, eat and drive the ten minutes to the course. As we were driving to the course I ...

Coyote Hills 1/2 Marathon Recap

January 27, 2013

I have two things to apologize about if you were at the race yesterday: -I am sorry if I didn’t say hi back when I was running, I was in a zone like I have never been in a zone before (and my music was really loud). -My shorts were way too short… I must have forgotten to look in the mirror and there are a few photos that billy took when I was running that were deleted within seconds ...

Women’s Nike Half-Marathon

October 15, 2012

Yes, Brooke’s facial expression is in fact telling you that she was born to crazy parents that get her up at 4:30 in the morning so that she can go watch 26,000 runners run around San Francisco. We left the house at 5:15 and my chauffeur Billy got me right to the starting line at 6:15. Because it is part of my race day rituals to always forget something, I had to ask around to a million people for ...

RnR San Jose Race Recap

October 8, 2012

Brooke was not very happy with me when I tried to wake her up before she was ready to the morning of the race. She is especially not happy with me because I am posting a picture of her crazy morning hair on the internet. Brooke had slept all day on Saturday so that night she was ready to hang out and so both Billy and I got about 4 hours of sleep. I think Brooke was so excited to ...

Utah Valley 1/2 Marathon Recap

June 10, 2012

I woke up at 1:30 a.m. Saturday morning because of my crazy insomnia and decided that I really wanted to run the 1/2 marathon instead of the 10k. I brought my phone just in case anything hurt so that I could just call my mom to come pick me up if I needed. I fell back asleep at 3 and the alarm went of 45 minutes later and I told Billy I was coming with him…he probably knew I was ...

Billy’s Salt Lake City Half Marathon Report

April 23, 2012

As many of you know, when I finished the Dog Town Half Marathon almost 2 months ago I began to set my sights on the Utah Valley Half Marathon in June as my next big PR race. Shortly after that, we got the opportunity to sign up for the SLC Half and of course we jumped on it. I was originally planning to try to run a 1:24 in June. When I began my training for the Salt Lake City ...

My SLC 1/2 Marathon Recap

April 22, 2012

The results are up for the SLC half and my official time was 1:40:54 but technically since I am pregnant and running for two you can just divide that number by two and it looks like I set a new world record:) There was a total of 3500 runners and I took 258th….way cooler than Billy’s 40th overall place:) The winning male time was 1:08:37 and the female winner was ANDREA (our cutest friend:) with a 1:18:13!! Our alarm clock ...
