Half Marathon!!

In the spring I set a goal. I decided I was going to run a half marathon. My mom helped me find a training schedule and a half marathon to sign up for. I started training in April and I ran my half marathon on July 9th. I ran the Hobbler Half in Spring ville. It was a really nice downhill course in the canyon. I would definitely run it again and I think it's a good thing that I enjoyed my first half marathon. (I can see myself doing more) My time was 1 hour and 59 minutes. My mom ran it too but she was far ahead of me. We stayed with my Uncle Jake who lives just around the corner from the finish line. I couldn't have done it without my dad, Jake and my mom cheering me on. My new goal is to work on my speed for cross country so I can make the varsity team again this year.

Summer Activities

This summer im babysitting my brother and sister while my parents work. We have lots of fun together and I love being able to play with them more now that im not at school all the time. I also have a lifeguarding job at Crystal Hot Springs waterpark. I really love my job and I like having extra money without having to ask my parents for everything. I also am still swimming on the Box Elder Swim Team. I love it and my favorite stroke is butterfly. So far my summer is pretty low key but im enjoying it.

Swimming Quote

"It's been told that swimming is a wimp sport, but I don't see it. We don't get time outs in the middle of a race, in the middle of a race we can't stop and catch our breath, we can't roll on our stomachs and lie there, and we can't ask for a substitution." ~Dusty Hicks
