So, Lucky Me got to have a blast from my California past this last weekend! My awesome friend and ex-visiting teaching companion, Carrie Rhodes, came down with her beautiful family to run the Painter's 1/2 Marathon with me! We have been emailing to keep each other motivated for this run. (She was WAY more diligent than I was about training, but we still managed to have a great time running around St. George with 1500 other people :) Carrie is 5 months pregnant and just amazed me with how easy she made it look. SO hard core!!! She even went running yesterday...I'm WAY too sore to even think about that until next week :) Also, my amazingly cute and wonderful little sister, Natalie, kept Carrie and I motivated during the run :) She was seriously our cheerleader the whole way! Naty and I haven't done a run together in YEARS so this was such a treat for me! She even ran across the finish line with me :) Thanks, Anty Gub! The weather couldn't have been better! The running part was fun, but it was even better to get to hang out with the Rhode's and feel like no time had passed. Her husband, James, is a professional viola player so they are trying to move to the east coast. I feel so lucky that we got to be together for even just a little while before they move. Thanks for coming down, Carrie!! Love you guys!!

I think that all three of you made it look easy. I look at your picture after the race and think "they look great! I would be a wreck." I am glad that you had fun.
I'm SO GLAD I had the chance to spend the weekend with you and do that race...what an AWESOME memory to share with you! I didn't tell you at the time, but I looked through your book and started crying in your kitchen, so I couldn't read anymore! I'm seriously AMAZED by you and Shaune! So now I'm crying as I read through it on your blog. What an inspiration and example you are for the trials/challenges/miracles you experienced through Shaune's cancer. Wow! The rest of us go on with life, but I know it's such a part of your life that it's part of your everyday. Thanks for sharing, Court! I hope you are recovering well!:)
You girls are awesome! I wish, wish, wish I could have been there (no NOT running...that would be the day) at the finish line cheering you on and bawling! Way to go Court, Gina and Natalie! All three superhero's in my eyes!
you are amazing! way to go!
