After a 9 years hiatus from running half marathons, I'm back in the game. My friend Heather and I trained for 12 weeks in preparation for this grand event. Grand it was. We almost missed the bus on the way to the starting line and while we were hoping up those school bus stairs, the fancy race guy told us to watch for bow-hunters while we ran down the canyon. I totally felt safe!
Running was fantastic until mile 10, then I was wishing I was at home in bed. All was well because we beat our 1:50 goal - 1:48 was our final time. Hooray for good weather and good I-pod playlists. I still have NO desire to run a full marathon.
TOU/2 09 was on our race medal - Top of Utah / 2 (like a half marathon) 09 (2009). Which race will be next?
WAY TO GO, TOBI!! Sheerly fantastic!! You rock!!
