Today my fellow running buddy Liz and I took on the Salt Lake 1/2 Marathon (13.1 miles). This is one race we had not done yet. I was a little nervous about the weather since it has been snowing all week, but the weekend cleared and race day was perfect weather.
Liz and I stayed close together the whole race but by mile 10 I was spent and I just wanted to be done. My feet hurt really bad. I left Liz and ran on ahead so I could be done. I also knew that Stu was waiting for us close to the end and I wanted to see him. Stu was our only support for this race. If you ever have a chance to support a runner; do so. As a runner myself- knowing that you have a support group at the end of the race is what helps you finish a race. You race to the end to see all those yelling your name.
Liz and I both did great on our race. I came in at 2 hours 7 min and Liz came in at 2 hours 9 min. Starting this month we have a race every month till October. Hopefully we can get those great bodies we have been talking about with all this running :)
