Sunday night - we (me, Sara, Corey, Baker, Darren, Jenny, Lexi, Casey) had a pasta party to prepare for our half marathon. A pasta party and sugar cookies - thank you Jenny!
Memorial Day morning we got up at 5:30am (on a holiday I might add), and prepared for our race. It was. So. Much. Fun. I saw my cousin Tiffany Brown at the race - we have cousin's everywhere! I found out from her Facebook status that she was running a half marathon in CA over the weekend, and it was the same race - what are the odds? Probably high - there are a lot of us :) It was so fun to see her and all of her cute friends. Thanks Facebook for the connection!
I didn't have a great time, so that won't be posted, but I will post Darren's. He did the half marathon in 1:35. He is so awesome. He was aiming for his previous time of 1:28, but maybe next time?
After the race, we went to a ward picnic and then to Terminator Salvation - which I really liked. But I like Christian Bale and the Terminator movies - so it was a great combination. By about 7pm, the early morning was starting to catch up with me, so I was out by 9pm. Sad but true.
Today I am a little sore (not bad) but glad we did the race.
Here is a picture of me and my cousin Tiffany - I stole it from Facebook. Luckily she is more organized than me and was taking pictures - I had no photographic proof I was even in the race! Thanks for the picture Tiffany!
To our Half Marathoners - Darren Harris, Corey Cooper, Baker Morphy, Adam Koch, Tiffany Brown and Co., Me, and Sara Spilsbury - thanks everyone for such a fun race - it was a great Memorial Day!

Congrats to both of you for doing that, what an accomplishment. Sounds like all is going well....Have a great week!
SO much fun, Nikki. I ran that race 2 years ago and LOVED it!!! Hilly, but really fun. I can't wait to run again!!! PS I am LOVING my dry shampoo. You are the BEST!!!!!!! Come visit, and hold a baby. I've got em in all sizes.
Nikki, that was so fun to see you! Really, what are the odds? You should be proud of running and finishing!! You are awesome!
I knew a Sara Spilsbury at BYU. She was from Las Vegas, I think she went to Western but I am not positive, and she was my favorite person in my major - Biology Composite Teaching. She was there when I opened my mission call but I have not seen or talked to her since I got home from my mission. Could this be the same person that ran with you? If so, I would love to get a hold of her.
Good job on your run.
