Saturday, October 6th I ran my first St. George marathon! It was such a beautiful course, running through the canyons and the red rock. I was so nervous Friday night because the weather forecast said it was supposed to be cold, windy, and rainy, but we lucked out and had the perfect day. No rain, no wind, and about 60 degress! Debby Barney and I ran together for the first 19 miles, then I started feeling a little sick and slowed down a lot. She kept a great pace and rolled in at 3:47 and I came in at 4:02, after stopping for a little throw-up break at mile 25 in front of A LOT of people! It was a little embarrassing, but I felt SO much better after that, and had a good last mile of the race! As always, I was so very happy to cross the finish line and be done running. After the race, Amy Larsen and I went and got massage's, which was awesome. I think it speeds up the recovery process by a few weeks, it's only Tuesday and I'm walking totally normal :)
Almost to the end, can't wait!
Crossing the finish line and receiving my first St. George Marathon medal!
Grabbing some after the run water and gatorade...all of which came up about 15 minutes later!
Debby and I ran together most of the way...until I started feeling sick at about mile 19!
