Guess what??!!?

I. won. I. won. IwonIwonIwon!!! (and yes, I did a little jig as I sang this)

I won a free entry into the Fire Station Run Half Marathon on September 22, 2012. All thanks to my sister and The Utah Running Guide: Free Race Giveaways. I never win anything. But I did! ..and now I need to train... uh oh! But this is great because I needed something to kick my butt into gear and get me running again.

But now it has me interested in a couple of other runs...

 

The Great Inflatable Race

Looks kinda fun, huh?!  But it's on September 22nd as well.So I can't do it. Dangit. I'll have to do it next year.

 

and The Utah Undie Run

 

But if I ran that then I would want to look like this...

 

and the biggest problem I have with it is the attitude most of the runners have against the church. I want to be a part of the Guinness World Record. But I don't want to be a part of something that is going to mock the church. Don't get me wrong... I'm all for equality and free agency, but I can't support something that's going to make fun of my religion or beliefs. It should be political and not prejudiced against the LDS Church. I think it'd be way fun to run in my undies. I am all up for that kind of fun. Heck that's what most runners practically wear anyway. I even went running in my sports bra and shorts in Cali on my honeymoon because it was on my bucket list and I luvd it.

and yes, this night Josh was sweet enough to run with me.  :]

So, right now my heart is telling me that I shouldn't do the run. Dangit. But I know that I will be blessed for my decision. Maybe they will change the reason for the run and then I can join in. When they decide to run just for Equal Rights and an opportunity to make a world record without it being an anti-Mormon thing then I'll do it. Until then I'll keep runnin' the way I do.
