Easter weekend

On Easter weekend we had all my siblings in town. Noelle and I ran the SLC half marathon. I was going to try and PR but after the first 3 miles were up hill I realized that might not happen. It was a hard course. I am use to canyon half marathons where the majority of the course is down hill. This course had a lot of up hill. On sections was over a mile gradual up hill from mile 7-8. That was killer. Noelle was nice and ran with me the whole time (she is a lot faster than I am). Noelle finished in about 1:55 and I finished 1:57. Noelle started having back spasms at mile 11. She had to book it to the finish other wise she didn't know if she could keep going. I felt so bad for her. She had carried Miles all the way from Maine on the plane a few days prior and I think that is what triggered it. It was fun to do a race with her. I miss running with her on a weekly basis so much!
After the race we went to Hoggle Zoo for their Easter activity. Of course the line for the Easter hunt was huge. Noelle and my mom took turns standing in line. Noelle made it to the front and her phone died. We didn't know and didn't make it back to the line before she gave up and got out of line. Alyssa was disappointed but when I told her we would have an Easter egg hunt at home she was fine. The kids loved seeing the animals.
