Every year the Saturday before Labor Day my family does a half marathon. Koy and Cassie go and map out a route on the Jordan River Parkway for a half and a 5K. We invite any friends who want to come and have people run, walk, and bike. I have walked and biked but this year was my first year actually running. I started liking running when I was training for the Ragnar so I wanted to actually do it this year. I didn't train as well as I should have, I have only ran 4 miles at a time since Ragnar so I was a little worried for the half. I told myself I was going to push and reach my goal to not walk and finish this half. I reached my goal but boy was it hard. At about mile 9 I wanted to die, my legs were killing me and I really didn't think I'd be able to finish. I pushed myself and I did it. I was the first one to cross the finish line out of my family and I was so proud of myself. My next goal..... Marathon!
