My sister in law, Sierra, is such a good motivator for me. I was getting my hair done by her one day and we were talking about getting in shape and I was telling her how I need to get doing something. She had already run a 5K and she said that we should run one together. I agreed and so we signed up for the Ogden Marathon 5K. After we signed up I started to worry. I was (and still am) REALLY out of shape. I started to run every day. Luckily I had Brady and my little sister pushing me along the way to keep practicing. I was able to "train" for about 2 weeks. Last Saturday was the big day. My little sister, Karlee, ended up running it with us too. It was so fun to be there with Sierra and Karlee. They are much faster than me but I was able to stay with them for maybe 1 mile. Then they were off. I kept a pretty good pace and I am happy to say that I was able to finish the race (I was really worried I wouldn't make it, ha!). It is kind of funny because I never thought I would say this but I think I will do another one. It is almost like I am addicted now. Not really to running but to go faster. So, anyways, I am just proud that I was able to do it. Thanks Sierra for getting me signed up and motivated to do something. Love ya!

Way to go STEPH! That is awesome! I don't think I could ever do that. If you do another someday maybe I will be around to try it with you. Good job!
