Provo Half Marathon

For Amy's 36 birthday her friends came down to SLC for a girls weekend. They went to the temple, lunch, a play, and dinner. They pack it in! I met up with them for the play at Desert Star Theater. Corny much? YES BUT funny and clever! Dinner at Macaroni Grill was yummy but sure didn't sit well the day of the race....too spicy. Now I know.

This was my 3rd half marathon and it was mostly downhill. It was a gorgeous course and I felt trained and prepared for the race. The spicy pasta I had the night before sure didn't make my race day my best running experience. I kept running but sure didn't have my best pace. After mile 8 I was feeling great and starting flying (at my 10 min/mile pace). My final time was 2:22:19.

What would any normal person do after running 13.1 miles? Go to 7 Peaks!!! That's right! We hiked up the stairs laughing, sliding, and doing it again and again. I loved it. The half pipe at Provo 7 Peaks is my fav. I love my sister and her friends. They know how to have a good time.
