Bryce Canyon Half Marathon...beautiful!

I have anticipated the Bryce Canyon Half for seriously a year. I wish I would have ran it last year but didn't think I was ready. So I was on the countdown until this year when I had my chance. It was by far the prettiest race I have ran. The scenery was amazing...the race route was okay. The first part of the race was down hill and I mean downhill. It was too steep. I couldn't wait to hit flat ground. Then the last part of the race was rolling hills. They weren't big hills, but after such steep downhill they were a bugger. And, not to mention, it was super HOT! There wasn't a breeze or anything so it felt like you were trying to run through thick, hot air. Sounds fun, right?! :) This was my 4th half marathon and all my half marathon times have been about the same, so I was determined to beat my time with this race. I about killed myself, but I did. It felt awesome and I was way excited!!

It was just me and my good friend Tiff that went to the race. We had a great time but I won't ever admit that we were in bed and asleep by 10:00 p.m.:) It was nice to get away and have just some girl time. We had a couple other friends that were there running too. We all finished and did great!

Me and Tiff
Me, Tiff, Lydia, Darla...good job gals!!

You should have just stripped off your shirts and ran in your bras! Then you wouldn't have been so hot:) Glad you experienced Bryce. Sorry it was miserable though.
