The Results from Moab

We did it! Allen ran his very first half-marathon and he did awesome. We camped the night before and I didn't freeze which is amazing for me. Then we got dropped off at the start 2.5 hours before the race started. And it was freezing! Out of all the Moab half-marathons I have run, this was by far the coldest.

And then we started! Allen was so nice to run with me. We ran together for 9 miles but then I got sick so he finished hard. He got his fastest time ever in a half-marathon and I got my slowest. We both got records. I think that because I have run so many 1/2 marathons and marathons that I think I can go and run without training. I guess I can run it, but I just don't get the time I want when I don't train. We had really fun running it together. Allen and my friend Camille were right at the finish line and it was fun to see them.

After the race we went to Arches and hiked Delicate Arch. We know we are leaving and we probably won't be back in Moab again for the next couple of years. We were really tired. A hike that would usually be pretty easy seemed really difficult after running 13.1 miles. But the view was worth it.
