Jump around

Baker's Dozen Half Marathon happened Saturday, and I got a huge PR! . . . It was my slowest half marathon by a long way. But it was all about the fun, right? And fun we did. The race director, Cory Reese, is famed for his jumping pictures, so we jumped. A lot, and crazy like. I decided I wanted to win the jumping award, so I found a quote by Taylor Swift that said, "Fearless is having fear but jumping anyway," and I wrote it on my shirt. Then I practiced some jumps the night before. No really, I am actually that nerdy. I actually don't know who won that award? But I feel like I should have? I did win a costume award, though, surprisingly, so we're good with that. 

After the race, I took my finisher's medal to Uncle Mike and gave it to him in honor of his finishing a year of chemotherapy. I told him he had earned it, and we all cried. It was actually kind of hard to give it up because it's the cutest medal I've ever gotten. Aunt Jean lost her mom earlier this year, then Mike's mom, Grandma Jepson passed away--all while their daughter is on an LDS mission . . . 2013 has been a tough go for them, and they've been in my prayers a ton. Way to go, Uncle Mike; you truly deserved a medal.
