Moab

Last weekend was our half marathon in Moab, Utah.  Some friends and I have been training since July.  I'm happy to say all our hard work paid off.  We did it!  I'm really proud of myself.  I've never been a big runner and I honestly wasn't sure if I would ever do well at long distance running.  I proved myself wrong and it's definitely an accomplishment.

Our trip to Moab was short and sweet.  We got to sight see for a bit, loaded up on a big carb dinner, went to bed, got up RAN RAN RAN and then headed back home.  




Moab is pretty incredible.



 We stayed at the Archway Inn. Cozy little hotel.


"Blake and Cor, look!"


"...now act like something's funny!"

RACE DAY!!!




 Pure joy. We were DONE!



There was about 2500 runners and we ended up placing 800th ish.  Doesn't sound all that great, BUT we were proud. Top 3rd percentile? We'll take it!
