I think I can, I think I can

That is my mantra. The Silver Strand Half Marathon that I am doing is in one week and I am ready. I have done my 10 mile run and I kept my pace so that I will be able to finish the race in under three hours. I slacked a little in my training a few times so I am very happy that I will be able to do it regardless of that. I was a little scared but now I am feeling much more confident about it and am sure I will be pretty dang proud of myself when I cross that finish line next weekend. For me, who has never been a runner...ever, a half marathon is a big deal. Anyway, so I am excited to do it...and excited for it to be over. :)

So that is mainly what I am doing this week - preparing for that race. I also started a test prep class for the GMAT test that is required for the MBA. I had my first class yesterday and it went well. I definitely think it was a good idea to do this. We did math yesterday and just having the classroom environment with an instructor has really helped me remember A LOT of the math that had been pushed back to somewhere in my brain. I am planning on taking the test in December a couple weeks after the class is over so all the info will be fresh in my mind.

This last week for Halloween I went over to my friend Michelle's house again to enjoy all the decorations that her family does. This year it was "The Wizard of Oz". Here are some pictures of the house when it was all finished. They go all out for sure - there was even snow in the poppy field! Everyone really loved it so it was a good way to celebrate Halloween.





Other than that it is just normal work stuff. Nothing out of the ordinary there. I will be going up to Boise for Thanksgiving at Annie and Peter's with Mom, Dad, Kimmy, Treven and Melia, so I am pretty excited about seeing all of them since I haven't seen most of them in quite a while. Well, that's it from me. Would love you hear from you all and I'll just put in a request to see updated pictures of Sawyer and some pictures from the D&A B&P T&T Disneyland extravaganza. :)



  1. Wow, I didn't know you were on the run. 13 miles. You go girl. You Rock! Dad

  1. I am so excited for you, Marnie! I also slacked on training due to an injury and fully expected to walk a good portion of the race, but on race day, your body just takes over and gets you through it. I'm sure you will do better than you think you will. Good luck!

  1. I'm sure you can!!! I'll be really thinking and praying for you on Saturday. I'm so proud of you for doing this!

    Love,
    Mom
