post race...

 i did it. and did it good. at least in my opinion, which is all i really care about. it took me exactly 2 hours and 30 minutes! 

.

the race was great. i lay in bed friday night thinking about it and feeling slightly anxious/stressed/nervous for the next morning. but you guys...it was great. really great. i loved the whole process, the training, the effort, the countless hours i ran all over provo when i would rather be sleeping, and finally the race itself. it felt so good to have a goal, put forward the effort and the work, and see the end result. and be proud of that result!

i'm ready to sign up for like 3 more! courtney maxfield, what have you done to me?!

i have to say a big thanks to all the super cool people i know who came to watch me run and sent me messages/texts/phone calls etc! yes, i probably shouldn't have been reading texts while i was running...buuuut i don't care.
