Bryce Canyon Half.

Not sure why but I decided to run the Bryce Canyon Half Marathon?  I guess it was the intent that it would keep me in shape and get me running again (It sort of did that).  Adam had also never done a race before so I thought it would be fun to do one together! So sign up we did... and run we did.... and boy am I glad that is over.  Having a kid makes it so much harder to train (along with a husband that also has to train, and it being way too hot to run in the day)....  We did have a great time and the run was beautiful and for a half marathon an "easier" run because so much of it was downhill. The weather was perfect.  Just as I was crossing the finish line the rain decided to come on down--- and it kept coming.  Glad I finished when I did because I hate running in the rain.  I did much better than I thought I would... not my best time but not my worst either. I ran it in 1 hour 57 minutes.  Adam did awesome running his first half in 1 hour and 39 minutes- I knew he would rock it.  It was fun to have Whitney do it as well. My Mom was our babysitter, photographer, and cheering section! 

 Running Pictures are so glamorous.  

  We were drenched at this point. 

 Sisters... Marci and Whit. 

Whitney got 3rd in her age group with a time of 2:12. Go WHIT! 

 My amazing friend Becky had a baby less than 3 months ago and ran the half--- in just a bit over two hours(I think it was 2:08). You see why I said she is amazing?! 

I am glad I ran the half but the next day I was so so sore. I def. did not train near enough I guess. My muscles were not used to being pushed so much. I also got a bad case of a stomach bug that hit about 2 hours after the race finished.  Lets just say it was not fun!
