Yesterday was the day. The day I'd been preparing for all summer. Turns out I wasn't the only one, some other 1200 runners started the race. Some were well seasoned runners, others were amateurs. We all had one goal though, to FINISH. And I did it!
And as soon as I crossed the finish line I just kept thinking "If only. . . the race had been one week earlier. Before I got sick, before my knee started hurting . . . I could have finished under 2 hours, closer to Chod."
And so, my running career isn't over. Maybe just on hold.

Hudson woke up at 5:30 so he could tell me good luck.
Looking for Hudson.

Congratulations! That is so awesome!
Wow! Karisa you look fantastic! Congratulations, that is something I've always wanted to do. I have a ways to go - I don't even like to run. Hah.
That is so awesome though. Way to go!
Awesome Karisa! I hate to run. I admire anyone who does do it! Great job!
Hey Karisa, it's Branden Allen. Congrats on the half, that's awesome. My wife did a half this past weekend also in Mapleton, UT. Also, I noticed your 10k time on a previous post and that's a really good time. Way faster than when I ran the 10k portion of the Spudman. You're awesome. Any word on the reunion for next year? Take care.
Way to go!!! That is so exciting.
Good Job!! I am so proud of you...you have worked hard to get to this point!

You go girl! That is so awesome! I'm so glad you are still alive - maybe there is hope for me when I run mine in October!
