I ran my third half marathon today in Bastrop Texas, about an hour outside of Austin. It was located in the country and was an incredibly beautiful run through the fields and HILLS! It was a really challenging run with more hills than I could count, but I finished with a time that I am proud of with all the Hills that it contained! Here are my results- 218th out of 1,097 runners and in my age division, 40th out of 176th. My time was 2:06:47, 9:41 min/mile pace. I have finished faster in my previous two marathons, but considering the hills and that it has only been 4 months since Lydia was born, I am very proud of my accomplishment!
These are the ladies from my ward that ran it with me. None of us ran together, but it was fun to pass each other and cheer one another on!
We had our t-shirts made...they are a Wonder Woman logo on the front and then on the back it says,
"I know I run like a girl, try to keep up."
Tyson and Lydia came with me and hung out at the Lost Pines Hyatt Resort that was sponsoring the marathon. He had some fun being in the country!

Post marathon pic...I was glad to be done :)
Only in Texas can you find fields of bluebonnets like this...amazing!
Lydia had her first bus ride. They shuttled us into the resort from the highway on buses. She loved not being in her car seat :)
