10/1/2011 ~~ St. George Marathon

My sister, Heather, came up from California to run with me! This was a great race. So, organized, energized, and BIG! There were 7200 registered runners. This was also the first time I had a "time" goal. I was hoping to complete this marathon sub 4 hours. As you can see, I didn't quite accomplish that...so I will just have to run another marathon, someday! Heather keeps trying to convince me to run one at sea level and I would definately accomplish that goal. We shall see! But, I still did accomplish something...I took 15:38 off of my previous St. George Marathon time!!! I am proud of that!

Time = 4:05:09
Pace = 9:21

5/21/2011 ~~ Ogden Marathon

I wasn't really sure that I would be running this race! I found out last Sunday that my father passed away and didn't know when the funeral would be. Needless to say, his funeral was Friday and I ran this one for him!!! Hopefully, he was running right next to me (now that he can!) I love you Dad!

The weather was perfect! I ran with my cousin. I love running much better when I am with someone I know. Thanks Dyanna!

Bridger ran the Kid'sK. He had fun and did a great job!

Time = 4:10:48
Pace = 9:34

4/16/2011 ~~ Salt Lake City Half Marathon

This was the first time running down in Salt Lake City. I ran with one of my co-workers (his first race.) He did awesome. Under 2 hours for his first half. Amazing! I did reach my goal of under 2 as well. The weather was perfect for a race, although when we left my house it was pouring!

I beat my previous Half personal record by 4:38.

Time = 1:55:55
Pace = 8:51
