13 miles with a bunch of crazies in Provo Canyon. I just cannot seem to stay away from the madness of the Halloween Half. New course and me and JulieC decided last minute to dress as Bathing Buties. Good times! I did not wear a watch but I think I finished in like 1:35-1:36? Ran the first 4 with Josse & then ran with my friends Steph & Holly pacing 1:40. A girl I know from my gym (Melissa) passed us at mi 6.5 and I asked her if she wanted me to run with her. She did and I instantly became the unoffical 1:35 pacer roping people in as I went. Only problem was I didn't have a watch at all so I was just pacing on feel and hoping I was staying on track. What a fun morning and I held up the entire 13 miles so I feel much more confident in pacing Snow Canyon half next weekend!
It was like a a great big runners party/reunion the entire race. My favorite part was the new out & back section they added because I got to see everyone and chat. :) So many familiar faces this morning and so nice to finally meet Angie after the race. |
