At the race expo on Friday night there was a booth to sign up for the Utah Valley Marathon. We had been discussing the race a little on the ride down so we stopped at the booth to watch the video and check out the course. I might have put a little pressure on the girls to sign up - at least for the half marathon so I wouldn't be alone. A few of them were thinking about it seriously and since it was cheaper to sign up there they did it. Somehow 3 of the girls ended up signing up for the full marathon. I even said something to the effect of "I don't know what just happened but I LOVE IT!!"

P.S. I can't even walk today because my quads hurt so bad. Note to self: ice bath and roller no matter what after a steep downhill half marathon!! But the good news is that if I can keep up my training up and the pace I ran for 13 more miles I will get my qualification time and I still have 7 months to go before the race.
Support had nothing to do with it! ALL PEER PRESSURE :)
