This weekend my mom, dad, Natalie, and I went to Rexburg for the Teton Dam Marathon Race. On the way there, we stopped at only my favorite place ever! The Playmill! We saw Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, and I have to admit, the guy who played Joseph was pretty cute. :) We figured out that the Playmill does a camp every summer like the Young Ambassador one I am going to next month, so we thought that would be a lot of fun for me to do next summer. We got to the hotel in Rexburg pretty late so we went to bed pretty soon after we got there, but when we woke up in the morning, I realized that I had forgotten to bring tennis shoes! My mom and dad weren't very happy with me. So my dad, Natalie, and I made a quick stop at Walmart for some shoes while my mom went with her friends to start her race. She ran a half marathon (13.1 miles) without stopping! What a stud! I'm so proud of her! Maybe someday I'll have the guts to do that too. :)
I was only doing a 10K (6.2 miles), but that is still farther than I have ever run! I started off pretty good, but most of it was uphill, so it kind of wore me down. I walked quite a ways up the hill, but I ran the whole way down. I finished at 1 hour and 5 minutes, so about a ten minute mile. I was the 91st person to finish overall, and 7th in my age group, 20 and under. After my race I realized that I had a blister on my heel, and my feet were hurting pretty bad. I've learned my lesson! I've decided that running isn't all that bad, and I've even signed up for the Heart and Sole Race 10K that's going on in Billings this Saturday. :)
Don't I look cute.... :P
