I've always had the goal to run a half-marathon on my bucket list. In fact, I trained to run one a couple of years ago and then something came up and I didn't get to do it. I signed Whitney and I up to run the Salt Lake half in January so I couldn't back down. The weather was perfect.....sunny and about 50 degrees. We were pumped. When we started out, we were cheering and whooping it up. At about mile 10 that came to a complete halt. It was survival for the next 3 miles. Whitney was so kind. She waited for me so we could cross the finish together. I was never so grateful to see the end of something in my life. We did it in 2 hours and 3 minutes. Not bad for the first one. I didn't care if I ever ran another one right after we finished. A couple of days later I found myself thinking, "Hummmm I bet I could beat that time"........Go figure!
Here we are joining the masses of people....couldn't believe people actually RAN to the starting line!
Uh...this picture is just a little too close first thing in the morning.....were we really awake???
Here we are not even close to the starting line.....wonder how early those at the start got here???
WE DID IT! I actually think I look better at the end than the start.....what's that about?
