Last Sunday, Courtni set out to finish a goal she set at the beginning of this year: to start and finish a half marathon. She has talked for the last few years about how she thought it would be cool to complete one. This last January, she put that thought to action and started training for her run. Since then, she has made me proud everyday. It is one thing to put in the time to train for a run of this magnitude, but it’s another to do so while juggling everything else she does. Each day, she made it a priority to get her run in despite being a Mom, a wife, a full-time employee, a friend, and so much more.
She never gave up even with some problems with a sore toe and legs, being tired from early morning runs, and being burnt out from running. She set her goal on finishing that half marathon and she showed determination and perseverance the whole time.

She made me so proud on Sunday to see her finish out all that she has worked for. It was an extremely windy and humid day and she had some more soreness in her toes but she kept on pushing toward the finish line. I’m so proud of her for finishing what she started. Even though Hailee and Jackson don’t know the realm of what she just did, I know they are both so proud of their Momma, just as they are everyday. We love you, babe.
Here are a few pics from the big day:
Even Hailee had to 'refuel' after the big run.
