Snow Canyon 1/2 Marathon

Well, Camille and I finally had our 1/2 marathon come and go and I'm sad and glad it is over with.  Sad, because I will miss running with Camille as often and miss our talks together.  But glad because it took a lot of work and time to train for it that I really didn't have.  Camille, Andrea, my mom, and I all went down Friday afternoon to Saint George for the weekend.  Then Camille and I ran Saturday morning while the others waited patiently to cheer us across the finish line.  I had completely forgotten my camera, but luckily the rest of the family did much better then I, so here are some of their pictures they took.  Unfortunately the first 6 miles were all down hill and they killed us with the rest being much more up hill then I would have liked.  However, we were both able to finish the race and that was a huge accomplishment for me. We were able to run the race in just over 2 hours, which is a pretty good pace for me.  I am definitely not a fast runner.  I can't say that another race is in my near future, but it was a good fun experience.  It's just to bad with all of that hard work, I wasn't able to loose much more weight.  That would have been a nice perk.

Saturday after the race, we met up with Brian and Audrey and family.  We ended up eating at Brick Oven with yet another bad waiter experience and then shopped the outlet malls.  It was so great to see them and visit with them and it was nice to walk around and stretch before we hit the road again.  Unfortunately the trip home was still long enough to cause us all to get a bit tired and sore.

I had a really fun weekend with my sisters and mom and am hoping that maybe we could do this again next year without all the running.   Just a more relaxed weekend.  We'll see.  Thanks to everyone for your support.
