Salt Lake Half Marathon

April 17, 2010
Race Day!

Today was the big day after weeks of training.
I was so excited and so nervous....it was difficult
to get a good nights sleep with all of the adrenaline!
This was our 2nd Half Marathon.
We had to wake up at 5:00.
The race started at 7:00 am.
13.1 Miles.

Favorite Parts: Running With J, The Finish Line
The awesome medals!

Not so favorite parts: My hurt toe, the cold weather at the start,
the uphill State Street finish, the backtracking (only around the parks).

We started at Legacy Bridge at the University of Utah campus. We ran down Foothill Drive to 2100 South to Sugar House Park, then back up to Highland High School and across 1-80 to 2700 South. We ran down 2700 South to 1100 East, down to Liberty Park. The last 4 miles were along State Street to South Temple and then we headed West to The Gateway where we ended by the fountain! It was a long and exhilarating run!
Running 13.1 miles never felt so good!
