Provo Canyon Half Marathon


For some odd reason we signed up for the Provo Canyon 1/2 marathon. I really didn't plan on doing it because I was hoping that I would be pregnant (that's funny). So, we ended up doing the race. Jason hurt his foot a week before and wasn't going to run. I was really sad because I wanted him to run with me. So on his way home from work Friday night he called and said he was going to run with me! Yahoo!

We got up at 3:45 am and left for the race. The race route ran down Provo Canyon. So, we took off down South Fork running together just like I had imagined until about 3 minutes into the race and then Jason decided he wanted to win or something. He took off and I didn't see him until the end of the race. I kept looking for him on the side of the road hurt (because he was in so much pain the week before?) or I thought I would see him holding some water for me waiting for me to catch up to him but that did not happen. He was waiting for me at the end of the race eating pancakes.
He was a good sport though, he had no desire and still has no desire to run again!

Congrats! I know you had good times even though you act like you were slow. I am very impressed. Sam couldn't believe there were people actually eating the pancakes at the end--Now we know who those people were!
