I got a few things checked off my list...

Last year I made a "little" New Year's Resolution list, so as 2010 came to an end, I decided to check back through and see how I did. I checked off a few right off the bat, #'s12, 18, 19-done! I still need work on quite a few others, but this week, I was able to check off #11. Now, I realize that technically I didn't complete this in 2010. BUT, I did do all my training for it in 2010 so I think it counts :)


My Dad dropped me off at the start so I wouldn't have to drive home at the end. I told Joel to come cheer me on at about the half way point .
 Here's Gavin waiting for me to run by!
 at mile 14, and still feeling pretty good.
 It was so nice to have my babies there!

at mile 20 (but Kaden was more interested in introducing me to his new friend!)

Unfortunately, Joel got caught in traffic after mile 20, and he didn't make it to the finish line in time. I was so bummed...I was planning to run accross the finish line with the kids. But, on a good note, I felt awesome during my race, definately my best marathon EVER! And, it had been 6 years since the last time I ran a full marathon so I did not have high expectations.

 When I finally met up with the kids
 My finishing medal! My time was 3:47
If you were wondering where Zo Zo was through all of this, she was there too. but Joel was holding her most of the time, and when I finished she had fallen asleep in the car. This was her wake up "do" when we got home!! I love this girl :)

Way to go Jazz!!! I had forgotten you'd ran a marathon before, was it P.F. Changs as well? Way to go! I still have no desire to run a marathon yet. My first half is the end of this month. Yikes!

The thought of running for over three hours makes me want to curl up with a scone and read People. While cheering you on. Wowzer, you're awesome.
