Salt Lake 1/2 Marathon Training!

We have 4 more Saturday runs before the Salt Lake 1/2 Marathon

on April 17th.

We haven't all been able to run together because of our crazy schedules.

Today was the first day all 4 of us got together to run.

We had to run 10 miles and we all met at 9:00 a.m. to start.

When I left my house it was 44 degrees and was partly cloudy.

I knew it was suppose to storm today,

but it wasn't going to arrive until 11:00ish so I thought we would be ok.

When we started running is right when the wind started.

It only sucked when running into the wind (heading South)

and thank goodness our route zigged zagged so we changed direction alot.

It sprinkled on us for the first 7-8 miles, then the rain came!

And when I say it came, "IT CAME!"

This is what we looked like running the last 2 miles,

We could not get to our destination fast enough.

When 2 of us got finished, we ended up jumping in the car and picking her up.

We couldn't find the last runner,

because he was running to another further destination

(he had to run 14 miles)

When we got heading home it turned into a blizzard.

All I kept thinking was "I am sooo glad to be finished and not running in that."

Next week we have to run 11 miles,

lets hope the sun comes out to play!
