Well, this race could be summed up in one word...WIND!!!!!!! Holy cow, did the wind blow?! Good thing I don't do races just to run, it is more about the fun girls time I get! :) The four of us gals headed out for the loooong trip to Moab. Good thing we didn't brake down or anything because there is nothing between here and there.
I was so excited when we drew out because we put in for this race last year and didn't draw out. Moab had some really yummy restaurants that we ate in and some fun little shops that we walked through. We all ended up buying the same running shirt and decided spur-of-the-moment to all wear them to run in. We totally stood out, but hopefully we might get on the race website with our matching outfits!
I am amazed that I actually finished the race still alive because of the strong wind. The wind was blowing like crazy right in our faces the whole race. Living in Delta we run in the wind a lot, but this was even worse. I felt like I need to put my arms out and try to swim or something through the wind. I got a full body work out that is for sure. But, oh my heck, they had good food after the race, which kinda.....kinda.....made up for the wind. They had cinnamon bread, cookies, chips, string cheese, chocolate candy, and chocolate milk. Wow, that is my kind of after race food! :)
Thanks for a fun weekend gals!!! Now just think, our next race is the big one...our marathon!! :)

Fun times had by all! Gotta love the wind! That's fun that your next race is a marathon, whose running with ya? Good luck to whoever those idiots are!:)
I heard the wind at that race was horrible. I'm glad you survived. You might be shocked to know I signed up for the Utah Valley Half Marathon in June. You have inspired me to get off my tuff and start trainging for a race instead of just running a few miles here and there. YIKES!!! I'm super scared. Hope I survive? Any words of advice?
Please don't remind me of this day! Well, just the running part I guess. The rest was pretty great! Marathon?! What?! Let's start praying for good weather NOW!!
