Yes! I did it. :) This was such a great race, I enjoyed myself thoroughly.  Nicole was the BEST motivator ever. I race, I thought was perfect and I loved running along the lake, it brought back a lot of memories of when I was a kid, living down there.  I will absolutely do it again, and maybe, just maybe a full someday? ... Someday. Not now! We had a great time in Coeurdalene with Justin and Nicole and my parents.  

Running this race was in my top 5 best days ever, for sure! I havent felt this great about myself in a long time; I remember feelling like this when we won state in Softball and Basketball in high school .  (It seems stupid and insignificant now.. but it's all I have to compare it to!) I had such a great sense of accomplishment. I achieved something I didnt think was possible.

I'M SO PROUD OF YOU!! You totally totally rocked it. SMASHED that "secret goal" of under 2! And you have the nicest parents in the world. So that's always nice too!

Yep, you're doing a full with me. :-) Portland on 10.10.10.
