Notre Dame

I was cleared last Wednesday night by the USU doctor to go run at Notre Dame's invitational. Despite spraining my ankle and inflamming a tendon I was able to feel okay thanks to a boot and some medicine. Thursday at 4:30 am we left Logan for the SLC airport! We got to see Chicago on Thursday and Notre Dame's campus on Friday. I loved Chicago's heavy-crusted pizza and Notre Dame's legendary-old feel. Of course we got pictures at the football stadium in front of "touchdown Jesus." (Pictures coming soon hopefully!)

Unfortunately our race Friday night didn't go that great. Our team only got 16th of the 25 teams and I was in the last 10% of the race in the 7th position on my team. The course was a flat golf course and I should have done better.

On Saturday Dani ran the St. George marathon in the pouring rain. She had a great attitude the whole time and ran a 3:23! I'm so proud of you Dani!
