Blessed!



This about sums it up!! (no exaggeration!) By Friday morning I was quite discouraged and didn't know if I'd be able to even run on Saturday. Phil gave me a blessing which calmed me down and boosted my confidence immensely. We were headed down to St. George. The race was incredibly hard for me, but I finished!! I was grateful to be able to do it after training so hard and I beat my record by 2 minutes!! The whole 26 miles, well maybe only 23 of it, I said this was going to be my last marathon, but...I totally reserve the right to change my mind!!

Jennie, you amaze me! I was so sad to hear that you were sick but am so happy that you were able to make it down there and complete the race! You are an absolute inspiration!

You go girlfriend. You are amazing and very inspiring to those of us who have never ran anywhere. Keep it up;) And loved the video. I've felt that way more than once.
