New Year's Goal Completed? Check.
Yes, ladies & gentlemen, you've heard right. I completed the Ogden 1/2 Marathon last Saturday which was the goal I had set for myself this year. (I've been excited to post on this for a week now, but have been waiting for a pic to add. Tausha--do you hear me? :) But I gotta just get it out there.) Does this mean I am under no obligation to further improve myself this year? We'll see. Actually, truth be told what it's done for me is set a bar, challenging me to do better & go faster next time. Yes, again you heard me right. There will be a next time! It was pretty slow, but I finished under 3 hours & that was my goal! An old friend from work had a son that also ran & she told me that she was long packed up & gone by the time I rolled in. Sigh. My parents can hardly believe I'm enjoying this junk, but I really am! Well-- if I'm running with someone. I'm not terribly fond of running alone. So, just let me pat myself on the back for a minute here. I did it!!

Good Job! I am so impressed by you!
So is a full marathon in the works? ;)
Congrats Jaime I am jealous! I need to get my butt up and running again and a half is something I definitely hope to do when I am done with school. I heard you did really well and you trained in such a short period of time...that's awesome!
Congratulations, Jaime. That is quite commendable. Sometimes I wish I were a runner so I could be better friends with those who are.
And I wish you weren't busy every weekend. Or at least every weekend we plan a reunion. I was thinking you could have driven down to Bridgett's party with me tonight, but she said you were off somewhere. Camping, I presume?
Way to go!! What an awesome accomplishment. I knew the running gene had to be somewhere in you because of your crazy marathon parents.
Great job! I knew you could do it. You've got long-distance running in your genes!
YOU RULE!
