Spanish Fork Half Marathon

So I can finally say I have 2 half marathons under my belt, with a full marathon floating around in my mind, I really need to lay off the diet coke, I think it's making me crazy....

Anyway, this was the first time I have run the Spansh Fork Half, and it was a very beautiful course. We ran through the riverbottems, into Salem, then looped around back to the river bottems. The first 11 miles felt fantastic, even with hills lasting miles 6 through mile 8. The last two miles were a bit harder. Usually when I'm running, I think I could definately run one more mile. This time I was thinking I definately hope I can run one more mile!


But I finished with a time of 2:12:39, which beats last years time by 31 minutes, so I'm thrilled!


This picture is right before I cross the finish line, and it doesn't even look like I am running, but I swear I am!

Utah Valley Marathon, here I come!!??
