Provo River Trail 1/2 Marathon

My amazing friend Dana and I ran the Provo 1/2 marathon. It was a nice downhill run.  I finished just 5 minutes after her at 2:11. This is my 5th race and I finished at nearly the same time as the other races. It's a little annoying to run the same speed all the time, but I guess I am just a 10 minute miler and that is that. As always, it was tons of fun and a good challenge to conquer. Who's up for the next one with me?
Tyler and the kids came to cheer me on. We stayed in a hotel in Provo. I had to be up at 4:15 in the morning. The kids loved the pool at the hotel and the pancake breakfast after the race. I always love to see them at the finish line. They are the best cheerleaders! FYI-I look like death crossing the finish line. I look like I'm about to fall over, because after nearly 13 miles of running downhill, my quads and knees were done. At least you get the idea of the excitement of finishing.
