Winter Sun Run 2011

http://www.moabhalfmarathon.org/wintersun/

Today I (Beth) jogged 10k. It wasn't pretty and I stopped for a few 60 second walk breaks, but I finished.

I went with my sister in law, Crystal, friend Nancy and neighbor and running partner, Anna. But I actually ran with a mother of four who was going my speed. I was realistically hoping for a time of one hour twenty-two minutes.

The results:

Me, 29: 1 hour 15 min
Nancy, 54: 1 hour 6 min (only because she became a little ill, this gal is fit. Crossfit.)
Crystal, 29 forever: 56 min
Anna, 28: 48 min

 So glad Anna didn't wait for me! She wasn't far from placing even if the winner in her age group was at 34 or 35 min.

There were 700 participants, awards for winners, a raffle with bunches of chances to win local goodies, lots of refreshments, and I now own a sweet race shirt and bag. The cherry of the day, though, was the feeling I had while crossing the finish line. Loved it.
