Provo City ½ Marathon

Leading up to this race I was getting pretty excited as I’ve never completed this course before.  Everyone seemed to have positive feedback regarding the race and I was looking forward to it.  Unfortunately, I came down with some mild flu like symptoms the night before so I was feeling pretty crappy.  As long as it wasn’t bad enough to keep me in bed I was still going, just wasn’t able to eat much. I secretly prayed that the pain would be overshadowed by the adrenaline rush.  The last stretch seemed difficult as the finish line seemed so close and yet so far away.  I didn’t finish as strong as I would have liked to but considering how I felt I was just happy to be done and that nothing embarrassing happened along the way.  My finishing time was 1:25:45, 11th overall women and 1st in my age group. It was awesome seeing the team do so well, so much talent!
