Canyonlands 1/2 Marathon!

Moab Canyonlands half marathon was so fun! March 22nd, 2009. Went down with the family for the weekend and stayed in Uncle Steve's condo (thanks Uncle Steve!). Had a blast and loved that Winter was just ending...it was so nice and warm down there. The hard part of it was that I had been training and used to colder weather, so when the race day came it was pretty hot! I think I overheated a little during mile 6 or 7 and had to keep pouring water on my head. I cooled down a little after that, but woooey...soooo hard to run your best when you feel like that. Ran it with my mom and sister Tiff. Even though I had super tight hamstrings and problems with the heat, my mom had a hurt back, and Tiff had a hurt foot, we all were able to do well and feel pretty good after all.

Oh, the things we do for running!I just finished waving to Taylor so my form here looks pretty funny!

Here are the stats...

Bib#: 1065

Happy with my time, however while I was training, I was consistently running under an 8 minute pace...so goes to show how much the heat and some tight hamstrings can hold you back.

Rex Lee Run 10K!

Rex Lee Run March 14th, 2009! Even though I don't have much to say about this one other than I love running with Taylor and it was good to be a part of a good cause. We had fun with this one and ran a good pace. I don't remember our time exactly but know it was under 50 min. I think it was 48?

Funny story...We saw this lady in this race running with her dog who she was harnessed to and it looked like at the beginning of the race, the dog (which was pretty big) was pulling her! Then we saw her at the end of the race again and this time she was the one doing all the pulling...her dog was pooped tired!Aren't we cute?! Matching and all?!!

Tired :) Getting those carbs back in the body.
