Saturday April 24, 2010 Jennifer and Kelsey ran in the Hurricane 1/2 Marathon and 5K race. Kelsey had never run before so she decided to run the 5K. Jennifer had run 2, 1/2 marathons and the St. George Marathon so she ran the half. They both did so well!! Kelsey came in 4th place in the woman's group. I'd say that it pretty darn good for a first time. She said that she felt so good. It jazzed her up. I think she may have the running bug now too!
She felt so good in fact that we got in the car to find Jen and cheer her on and when we found her, Kelsey got out and decided to run the remaining way with her. They were running at a good and steady pace. Jen looked pretty tired but we cheered her on at several different points in the race.
Jen came in 9th place in the women's group. She said she was ahead a good deal of the time until she hit the "killer hill" and then she lost some time. She had no idea how hard that hill would be to tackle. She said the ambulance kept driving by and at one point she wanted to get in but I knew she wouldn't. When Jen starts something she will finish it. She loves running the marathons.
The family gathers to congratulate the girls on their accomplishment. I couldn't be prouder of my girls. They did so well. What a good feeling to accomplish something so hard.
Jen looks beat. Her muscles are starting to ache so it's home for a hot soak in the tub with some Epson salts and a good rub down. You both are so amazing to me. I love you tons!
