Captial City Half Marathon!!

Today was such an amazing day!! I ran my third half marathon with some of my amazing friends here in Ohio. There were about 5 girls from my ward who signed up and finished the Capital City Columbus half marathon. This was the biggest half marathon I have ran in. Luckily the weather was good to us. It had rained the entire day yesterday so we were all nervous. With the great weather, good friends, and the amazing scenery of running through downtown Columbus I was happy I signed up and finished in a little over 2 hours. Thanks girls for training and running so hard today!!! You were all so awesome!!
Here we all are spelling out the famous O-H-I-O sign they do here for the football games and other sports. (this was pre-race)
Here we are (Allyson, Sherri, Me, and Taunya) finishing as WINNERS!!! We loved our new medals we got at the finish line, way to go for us!!
We had a yummy "carb loading" pasta dinner the night before the race with other couples in our ward who were running the half marathon or the full marathon that will go on tomorrow. The food was great, thanks everyone for putting it together.
