Provo Canyon Half Marathon

Saturday morning Rich and I left our house at 4:00am to be at the Provo Canyon Half Marathon. It's hard for me to sleep the night before a run because I worry about sleeping in, or missing the bus, or having a bad run day! I think I probably slept 3 hours that night! Despite the lack of sleep, I really enjoyed this race. It's probably my favorite run I've done. Most of the course was downhill, the weather was perfect too! My mom was in town visiting all week, so she was able to stay home with my kids during the run! That helped out a lot! After the race Rich and I hurried home, because me and my mom wanted to surprise my niece Emma at her birthday party. My niece lives in Idaho and my sister was having a birthday party at a waterpark in Pocatello at noon. So, I hurried and showered then we all got in the car and drove to Idaho. (My mom drove, I was exhausted!) My kids have been to this waterpark before, it's a really fun place. My niece and my sisters were surprised to see us. It was a long day! But a fun one! When we got home on Saturday night from Idaho, I slept like a baby!

Thanks for coming to the party. It was a great surprise! Emma was so excited to see your kids and has since been asking when she gets to see them again. It was great to see you.
