Snow Canyon Half Marathon

#3 - Half Marathon! I am glad to say that the last of the year was the VERY BEST YET! We had a GREAT time. It was short and sweet. We left Friday afternoon for St. George. Then we ran Saturday morning, showered and returned home by 6:30pm. Just in time for Sunday! I think the 8 hours of driving was TOTALLY okay because there were four fabulous ladies in the car and we never got bored of chatting.

Krista, Diana, Amanda, Holly, Amber (Camille & Alissa I need our other pictures to post you there too!)

Here was our good luck fortunes from Emily...who couldn't make it to the race this month. We SO missed you! But she was cute to send these darling fortune cookies.

Here is to the biggest trooper of them all, my sister Krista. She decided on Friday morning to run with me. So we enlisted in some childcare between our sisters and she joined me. It made the race the best. I had a buddy to talk and chat with the entire time. I was totaly impressed by her abilities. Who needs to train for a half marathon...not her! She even improved her time by 12 minutes from her last one in June. Now, as for me I LOVED this race. It was primarily down hill which ONLY helped my time. I ran this race in 2:09... My first race in June I ran it in 2:32, then my 2nd in 2:17, so for me to meet my goal of 2:10 I was stoked. The other ladies I ran with did AMAZING...They left us in the dust by finishing between 1:40-1:54...Seriously, amazing! But the best part of the race was that at the finish we had ALL met our individual GOALS. So it made for a perfect ending of running in 2010! I know for me, waking up and not HAVING to run was an early Christmas present! My house finally gets the cleaning attention it's been in need of! Oh, this journey has been amazing. I can't wait to do this all over again.
