Half-Marathoner

Finally, for all of you who have complained, this is my latest entry. I have been training over the past 4 months for the half-marathon (and yes, I know that 4 months training is sufficient for a full marathon). Michelle and I ran the Salt Lake City half marathon last Saturday. We averaged a 10:40 minute mile. Not too bad for us. We usually run an 11:30-12:00 minute mile. We were amazed at all the half marathoners passing us in the beginning as we ran up Foothill Drive. But by mile 5 many were walking. I ran the entire course and Michelle ran all but two blocks in the 11th mile. She felt as if her appendix had burst. I recovered quickly after the race and now I want to run the Huntsville half marathon in September and possibly the Ogden marathon. Ogden is one of the easiest marathons. It is all down hill or flat. Life is always changing. A year ago a 10K seemed daunting and almost unattainable. And n0w I am thinking of marathons.
