I decided to train for a Half Marathon in July. A few friends and I signed up for the Legacy Midnight Half, running from basically North Salt Lake to Farmington starting at 10pm. It was an amazing run for me and I had a lot of fun. I kept up with Michelle and Gina for about 8 miles, then slowed my pace slightly, running a few miles by myself and caught back up to Michelle. Michelle and I finished the race together. This is my first ever race and I beat my goals. I averaged a 9:48 pace per mile (for 13.1 miles!) and made it in 2 hours and 8 minutes. I have never really been a runner before, so I was super proud. I hope to do it again sometime. During the race, Scott and my sister Katie would drive to the trail every couple of miles and cheer us on. I could hear Katie's yell from far away and it kept me super motivated. She is awesome!
