My Half Marathon

I ran my first half-marathon (13.1 miles) today in Provo. It was great. It was a beautiful day and the temperature was perfect. The couse was gorgeous, it was along the Provo River and we ended at the River Woods. I finished in 1:52 and am really pleased with that time. I didn't think I'd come in under 2 hours. I felt really great during the run and it went by very quickly. My knee bothered me minimally. The last mile was the hardest and felt the longest. I'm hooked and can't wait to race in another!

Meet Fishy

Gabby has a new pet, Fishy. We bought a beta fish and aquarium for her this week. She's very happy to have Fishy and talks to him a lot. On the first day, I heard her saying, "Come here, boy" so went to check on her. She had Fishy in her hand and was petting and inspecting him. I got him right back in the water and he survived 3 days now so I think he's a tough fish. I taped the lid shut so he should stay put from now on. Gabby has been begging to take a bath with Fishy, but seems to realize that it's not going to happen.
