Way to Go Brittany!

Well,  it happened...yes Brittany and I ran (she ran), I ran most (and walked some) of the very first Huntsville, Utah half marathon on September 29th. I had three goals going into the race:

1) finish
2) not get last in the half marathon
3) not get passed by the first place marathoner

I met all three goals! Wow the finish line was so beautiful. When I play golf, and when I putt, I putt the ball so it pretty much gets to the hole without much left to get there. Seldom do I go way past the hole. Well, that is how my finish in the half marathon was, I don't think I could have gone any further than that finish line...ugh!

Remember that post I had back in May or so about smells? Well guess what was waiting for me at mile 6.5? A squished skunk. Ugh! Gag!! Gag reflex!!! Major coughing event!!!! Fortunately Brittany had left me in the dust by then and she didn't have to see my contorted face.

Anyway, we did it and now it is time for a little rest. Until next time...happy trails to you. And here are a couple of pictures for you to enjoy. I will let you guess who is who.

  1. Wahoo!! Um hardly left in the dust, and you looked just as happy at the end as you do at the beginning. Something tells me you will do this again ;)
