It was verrrry cold, so I wore my sweatshirt the entire time I ran. I really thought I'd be taking it off so I had my number pinned to my shirt. Oh well, next time I'll know- before April 1 you will be wearing the sweatshirt the entire time!
My 90 day goal was part of a great program Craig and I have participated in the last 90 days called Outlook. As part of the program I had 2 buddies who I talked to daily and those great ladies were there to cheer me on the day of the race. Love ya Jules and Sally you rock! Doug who is one of the facilitators is in the back left corner and he and my running mentor Ashli Roberts actually ran the race with me. About a week before my race I got my first official runner's injury and so I ran my race with a knee brace. But even with the brace on I still improved my time by 4 minutes!
Of course Craig and the kids were there to cheer me on. I love that my little girls race around the house now until they are breathing hard saying they are 'exercising'. And Emmalee's favorite game on the Wii fit is the running- she runs around the couch and kitchen breathing hard- it is so cute. Guess its rubbed off a bit on them also! Mom and Dad were in town for my race and made it just in time to see me cross the finish line. Dad was behind the camera and somehow I didn't get a single picture with them in it. Thanks for the support and love mom and dad!
Jules gave me a trophy with my super hero name on it- Warp 9 Woman.
It has been a wonderful 90 day adventure and I'm already planning my next 90 days with monthly 5ks and the Wasatch Back Ragnar June 19-20, not to mention more 'incredible shrinking woman'. More to come!

Congratulations! I love the second picture of you running -- it looks like you are WAY ahead of the pack. Love it! Looks like I better start training to run in May with you guys...
I am so proud of you, but you are a really turkey for not telling me that you were working on that goal. You look awesome. I am shooting for the race in May, but I think I will be doing the walk with the baby.
AGAIN--CONGRATS!!!
Congratulations Cory! That is quite a fun accomplishment. I really admire your ability to carry on with an injury, no less! I can't wait to hear about Ragnar! I think it is such a great thing for our kids to see us reaching new personal heights of accomplishment. I'm sure you are their hero!
