First off-on September 10 I ran a Marathon. Ok, let me clearify. I ran 1/5 of a marathon. Not so long ago in August my friend Becky asked me if I would be interested in running a relay marathon. I said yes because all that I'd have to run is 5.2 miles. At the time I was training to do a 1/2 marathon so I thought this would be cake! Well, we went to Washington for a family reunion in between then and the relay marathon and my training went out the window. Before Washington I was up to 4 miles, after I could hardly run 3. I had a lot of fun training for the relay and got to know some of my ward friends a lot better. So here's how the relay worked: there were five of us and we each had to run 5.2 miles. We handed of a baton to the next person and then they ran the same course that the person before had just run. I was the 4th runner. The Thursday before the race my friend, Alyssa and I decided that we were going to try to run the length of the race. We did it under an hour, which we both felt very proud of. Well, me being the 4th runner in the actual race was not such a good thing because I had been training at night when it was really cool, so even though it wasn't that hot outside, the heat really slowed me down. I ended up finishing in about an hour. I was a little disappointed with myself for not getting a better time, but all in all I'm super proud of myself for finishing 5.2 miles twice in one week!:) Here's some pics of the event.

Next-The Sunday after the race my sis M'liss took our family pictures. I'm just going to put one until she is done photoshopping them:)

Last-Emi went to the Dr. for her 15 month check up. We had to miss the 12 month one because her Dr moved before her birthday. Anyway, Emi had to get her finger pricked to check her iron. Later at the check up she had to get 4 shots! It was the hardest check-up I've had to sit through. She cried the whole time! Her new Dr is so much like her old one that it is crazy! Here are the stats for 15 month old Emi: Height-29 3/4 inches. This is the 40th percentile. Weight-19.13 lbs. This puts her in the 10th percentile for weight. Tall and skinny like her daddy! That's seems to be a trend with her:)
