Half Marathon


On Saturday August 30,

I woke up at 5:30,


Strapped on my new running shoes,

and headed to Emigration Canyon.


The sun was slowly rising over the mountains,

There was a strong chill in the air

My stomach was filled with butterflies as I approached the 

Starting Line at the bottom of the Canyon.

Thirteen miles, 

I stretched out my chilled legs and patiently waited for the
 race to start.


Here are some pictures of the days event.
We started at the bottom of the canyon,  
the first two miles were all up hill.

The race was incredible, and the view was breathtaking!

I finished third in my age group 
and my overall time was 1 hour 51 min.
I was very proud of my accomplishment




Next race: Marathon
