I dedicate this song...

...No Easy Way Out (Rocky IV) to my 1/2 marathon (13.1 mi) run! This song helped get to the finish line! Results: 2:05, overall 222 place, age group 39th. My goal time was 2:10, so i'm pretty happy with the time. The race couldn't have been in a more beautiful place, we began on the top of Snow Canyon and finished at Snow Canyon high school. My running buddy, Heather was awesome,we didn't stop once. By mile 11 the emotions were high and I just wanted to cry b/c of this great accomplishment (and b/c of this song...haa haa i felt like Rocky working out). Anyway, once I saw my family at the end, the tears came....I soon realized no goal is too high to set for myself. I'm so grateful for Erika and Heather, for helping me train. Thanks girls! And sooo onto our next race?...we'll see... style="visibility:visible;">
