Today I ran the 1/2 marathon(13mi)in Ogden! It is such an awesome race--I ran the full marathon before I had Zoee, and loved every second of it--Mostly because the course is so pretty! I actually just got a number by chance, because by the time I went to sign up, everything was full! It's become a huge race--there were 5,000+ participants in the marathon/half this year--Go O-town.. Anways--Just last week my cousin said his son wasn't going to run the half anymore, and that I could have his number--Hooray! So today I was running as a 17 year old boy--cool eh? as I ran across the finish line they said, "and here is 17 year old Brendan, we love to have these young kids come out." I had to laugh. My Dad came and ran the last 7 or so miles with me, which was so much fun. We were booking it, and I felt great. I actually got my PR (personal record) for my half marathons--I ran it in 1 hour 38min. It was my first race since having Zoee, and I forgot how much I missed it, can't wait for the next one.... don't mind the sweaty
mess that I am..Yipes! --

Way to go Shar! That's such an awesome time! Maybe one of these days I'll start training again...I do miss a good race =)
That is freaking awesome Shar. I can't believe it, good job. I need to start doing some running or something. We missed you at the park, hopefully next time:)
congrats shar! That is awesome! You inspire me... I need to run more! WAY TO GO!
Well Done Speedy Friend. Next year I hopefully will be there! And you don't look like a sweaty mess, you look darling and great! Not like you just ran 13 miles dude.
Awesome, Fast time Shar! Although Ray already said you'd be super fast! Did you win the 17 yo boys division? :) You didn't even look tired! Did you get signed up for St. George? I think everyone got in that I know of. I hope so! We miss your fam on the running trips!
Way to go my friend!! I would love to run that race. Looks like a good time and plus you look super hip sporting your shades while running. I am glad you can always have a little fashion in your life...no matter what your doing!
Holy Camoly! 7.5min miles??? YOU are my HERO! WOWWWWWWWWWW. Really, that is so freaking cool! It makes me want to put on some running shoes and go outside...
On second thought. Nope. I'm good. ha ha ha j/k!
Congratulations Shar!! If you had a medal for all the things that you are amazing at you would have to have a wall of medals instead of plates. On display would be a medal for great Mom, amazing sister in law, wise aunt, talented photographer, inspired decorator, devoted wife, determined exerciser, exceptional cook, fantastic daughter, the list goes on. It would make that wall of plates embarrassed!! Your unbelievable, I want to be like you when I grow up!! :-)
Love U

I really can't say enough how amazing you are!! Sorry my computer was being slow so I hit the "publish your comment" too many times. Oops! :-)
That is so awesome, congrats! I wish I could have had someone's number that is way good luck, and props on the 7 1/2 minute mile! (my 11 minute mile I way proud of!)
Look at you Wonder Woman! Wow, 7 1/2 minute miles. That is amazing! I am so running the 1/2 marathon next year, but I will be lucky to get even eleven or twelve minute miles, maybe worse!
It is fun that you run those races! You are my inspiration!:) That is a great time too! go shar!
How did you do your comment so it pops up in another window...I like that!
Did you really run the marathon, because wow you look great! Way to go friend. You are an inspiration. It was so fun to talk yesterday, did your phone die??? I tried to call you back and I couldn't get through.
You are an iron woman! good for you...maybe one day I'll get around to the whole marathon thing...
Hello Sharstin!! How are you? I have not seen you since high school. I am sorry but I do not know what you are talking about. I was NOT talking about you on my blog. Sorry if you think I was! Great race time!!
You're kids are so adorable. It is good to see you and hear from you.
WOW! That's amazing. Way to go.

Go Sharstin! I cant beleive how fast you run! I enjoy a good run too, but I'm sure not as much as you do. Thats awsome!
